The increased police presence in Ottawa's ByWard Market this summer is pushing more vulnerable people into Centretown and placing "additional pressure" on resources in the neighbourhood, according to the ward councillor.

The Ottawa Police Service opened a police operational hub in the Rideau Centre in late June, and has increased its presence in the ByWard Market and Rideau Street area this summer. Police are also focusing on eight "hot spots" for crime and social disorder as part of the new "community outreach response and engagement strategy."

The Alternate Neighbourhood Crisis Response program will launch on Aug. 15, a new 24/7 non-police crisis response team in Centretown. People in Centretown can call 2-1-1 to request a mobile crisis team for themselves or someone else in a mental health or substance use crisis and a team of crisis response workers will respond any time day or night.

The three people killed Saturday in a single-vehicle crash near Oromocto, N.B., were related to each other and from Moncton’s Indian community, CTV News has learned.
