Visit our neighbourhood

Re: Show me the proof

We invite you to come and spend a day or two with us. Come to our store. Come and meet the store owner, one of the most generous, most compassionate people you will ever meet.

Always helping those unfortunate. He is the one paying for the broken glass and damages and now , what he thought he’d never have to do, install metal barricades on the glass to hopefully deter this from happening again.  By the way, he just replaced the glass in the door a month ago).And also the worry of what is next. Who is out of pocket over $1, 500? You?

The police identified this man from the homeless camp. We are not saying that all homeless people are bad and are to blame. We are caring  people. But this is a senseless act. And only the business owner is the one who pays.  Is this right? Come and hang out with us. Look around our neighbourhood. If you are so quick to judge and submit a  response to one of our long  term neighbours — over 20 years, never ever a problem until now — then Please!  Tell us your thoughts. From the eyes of the homeowner and the friendly little corner store, what are your thoughts towards a solution? 

We have seen it. We breathe it and live it every day.  People stealing and vandalizing right in front of us! Yes! We see it. Yes, we have proof! And yes, it is getting worse every single day. We have cameras!  Do you?

Come and spend the day with us. Listen to what our customers, our neighbours are dealing with, staying awake at night, watching and scared. Putting up barbed wire along their fence tops. Please come and see for yourself. And then tell us your thoughts.  What if this was happening in your neighbourhood. What would you do? We’d love some advice!
