The 1st day of the stay-at-home order

Ottawa was quieter than usual under the first day of a newprovincial stay-at-home order, but not a complete ghost town.

After all, the order which came into effect yesterday and is slated to last until at least Feb. 11 includes a number of exceptions, from buying groceries and walking one's dogto heading to and from work.

Here are a few shots, mostly from the downtown, that give a sense of life under the new restrictions.
