An Ottawa business owner is worried about the future after his shop, which sits just steps from the heavily protected American Embassy, was broken into two nights in a row. It comes on the heels of pandemic closures and disruptions from the convoy protests of February 2022.

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.
