Ottawa police launched “Project Intersect” in the ByWard Market to tackle rising violence, drug use, and public disorder — a move welcomed by locals demanding stronger safety measures. On August 11, coordinated patrols led to over 20 charges, including 16 thefts and a probation violation for one arrestee, plus two others with warrants. Seven more were charged for drugs, two for concealed weapons, two for liquor violations, and four trespassers were handled through direct engagement. Cleanup crews followed up, signaling a sustained commitment to safety — with patrols expanding citywide to keep neighborhoods secure.
