Steve's Music,Rideau Street,Byward Market

Steve's Music, a long-standing store in the ByWard Market area of Ottawa, is relocating after 42 years due to rising crime and ongoing challenges. The store manager, Daniel Sauvé, explains the decision was made to address increasing criminal activity and the strain of recent events.

Steve's Music has spent more than four decades in the same location on Rideau Street, steps away from the ByWard Market. But they'll soon be relocating, citing an unwillingness to deal with crime in the area.Dan Sauvé, the manager of Steve's Music's on Rideau Street, said that when their lease came up for renewal it didn't make sense to stay in the area anymore.

Steve's Music isn't moving for just "one reason," said Sauvé, citing instead the challenges of the "the last 15 years of doing business on Rideau Street." "I know business owners have to make business decisions ... in the best interests of their businesses and their customers," he said.
