MONCTON There has been growing concern over the rising homeless population in the Greater Moncton Area, prompting the local chamber of commerce to create a task force to look into the problem. “There needs to be some solution, and it needs to be now,” says Nasika Breau, owner of Apple Art Gallery in downtown Moncton. Breau says the homeless population has been growing in the downtown area, however, she says there has yet to be an appropriate solution. “There’s a lot of work that we have to do that the clients don’t see to protect them, to protect us, and our staff,” says Breau. “Whether its needles, or violent outbursts, or vandalism, or theft, and these are things that growing more and more.”
