The Ottawa Police Service had upped its presence in the Market area for the holiday weekend, the service wrote in a Tweet on Tuesday morning.
“Officers were out every night this long weekend in the Market area,” the tweet said. “Liquor establishments were checked. Several disturbances were broken up.” Police conducted more than 70 “liquor pour-outs” for open drinks in public and, in addition to the two men arrested for possession of a firearm, one other was arrested for impaired driving.
The Market, a popular nightlife hotspot, has been frequent witness to violence over the years, including a rash of shootings and stabbings, and, on July 15, Vuyo Kashe, 36, was shot to death on Clarence Street, near King Edward Avenue in the Market area.

Closure of ByWard Market music venue Mercury Lounge a 'tough blow' | CBC NewsThe last guitar chords have officially rung out at the bar and music venue that's been a ByWard Market staple for more than 20 years. Do you think that perhaps running the mercury lounge as a 'non profit' might have something to do with its closure ? The last remaining link to the roaring (late) 90s in Ottawa. UnpopularOppinion - Just maybe, MyLowertown didn’t need another nighttime only, adult only, alcohol venue? Every single door now on Clarence Street sells booze or cannabis to adults at night.
