After losing $40K to theft, this ByWard Market business owner wants a solution to crime

His ByWard Market boutique was robbed. He feels like he's on his ownJohn Rmor estimates nearly $40-thousand in merchandise was stolen from his shop after a thief smashed his front door.

"I'm glad I was not here first of all, for my safety, but it's disappointing because you never expect it to happen [to you]," he said. Last month, merchants aired their frustrations about worsening conditions in the market at a meeting with police, city staff and the newly formed ByWard Market District Authority, where they heard that solutions will not come overnight."We're seeing frankly, the spillover impacts of a mental health and a drug crisis that's happening not just in Ottawa but across Canada," said Zachary Dayler, the executive director of the ByWard Market District Authority.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Stéphanie Plante said services in the ByWard Market need to be better integrated to move toward a solution. She said a police and social services hub could be the answer."So the harm reduction people need to be talking to our front-line workers, who need to be talking to our businesses, who need to be talking to our residents," she said.
