Over 500 pest sightings in Canadian federal buildings sparked worker concerns amid return-to-office plans.
Hundreds of pest sightings—including insects, rodents, and bats—have been reported in 93 federal buildings across Canada’s National Capital Region from April to November 2025, with 549 incidents documented.
The issue has sparked concern among public servants as the government pushes a return-to-office plan requiring at least three in-office days weekly, with future mandates potentially calling for full-time work by January 2027.
While officials say incidents are isolated and promptly addressed, employees report ongoing stress and unsanitary conditions, calling for better workplace environments.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says details on the policy will be shared soon, but no official timeline has been confirmed.
