Over the past few weeks, people from across the country submitted their ideas, via telustalksbusiness.com, on the places and spaces they think are Canada’s best locations for working outside the office. This week, as part of TELUS’ continuing focus on flexible work, we want to highlight some of the more interesting locations where Canadians have leveraged communications technologies to work remotely. This is the second post in a series of four articles that will appear over the next few weeks... 

While the downtown core of our nation’s capital doesn’t sound like the most tranquil of work environments, according to Cornelius Rachieru, User Experience Strategist at Ampli2de Communications this is Canada’s best location to work remotely:

"My rooftop patio in a quiet area of Ottawa's downtown core is an amazing place to work outside the office. I lie on my hammock and work wirelessly from my laptop. Of course, a cup of hot chocolate is always by my side. Because I am a creative professional, being outside and under the stars (I tend to work at night, especially during the summer) is a combination that I just can't get anywhere else. So there you have it, the absolute best place to work in Canada”.

What’s your favourite place to work remotely? Does your employer allow you to work away from the office?
