Downtown businesses now call outreach workers if there is a conflict or crisis, instead of calling on police services. This is thanks to the Welcoming Streets program which launched on February 1st. The calls are for help with issues such as loitering, trespassing, people using drugs or other social disturbances.
A downtown business owner in Sudbury, Ont., says she is closing her storefront for a short time because of open drug use outside her front door. Next month, the city is hosting a summit to help address the issue of toxic drug use.
When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go but what happens when there’s no public facility nearby? In downtown Sudbury, that situation is a reality for some people everyday. Now, downtown businesses are asking the city to step in to assist.
