With the vast majority of flights in and out of the Ottawa International Airport grounded and large indoor gatherings on hold, people passing the EY Centre recently have been struck by a curious sight — a parking lot crammed with vehicles. The vehicles filling the vast lot on Uplands Drive are rentals from the nearby airport, sitting idle because there are very few visitors looking to drive them. (Francis Ferland/CBC)An official from the EY Centre confirmed to CBC the lot is being used as overflow parking for rental vehicles during the pandemic. With borders closed, more people working from home and many tourist attractions closed, demand for rental cars has dropped off significantly. That's good, because eventually the EY Centre is going to need its parking lot back as conventions and trade shows resume.
