For a year, local business owners have been pleading for more help from authorities, said Phil Emond, the owner of the gallery. In July they wrote an open letter to city officials outlining their concerns, he said.In response, Stubbs acknowledged the Ottawa Police Service is struggling to meet demands with its limited resources, but said he had a plan to improve the situation."We have hired more members this year than we ever have in the OPS so far," he said.
"We asked for funding directly to help this area," from the provincial government, Stubbs said. "So that's coming."
