Statement Regarding Protest in Ottawa It's been an incredibly difficult weekend for our downtown shelter and soup kitchen programs. Our staff and volunteers faced significant barriers to get in to work. The only volunteer to make it in parked far away and walked. Trucks were parked in our ambulance drop off zone for nearly 12 hours until they were removed and towed with the support of Ottawa Police Services. The incessant honking and noise from trucks, caused significant anxiety and distress to our staff and shelter residents. The Salvation Army Outreach van was not able to run in the downtown core. All shelters in the sector had to figure out contingency plans for client transportation. The staff and volunteers at our soup kitchen experienced verbal harassment and pressure from protestors seeking meals. While we are not certain of exact numbers, the demands for meals and verbal altercations continued for several hours over the dinner period. One member of our shelter community was assaulted by protestors. A security guard went to his aid and was threatened and called racial slurs. These incidents occurred two years to the day from the declaration of a State of Emergency on Housing and Homelessness in Ottawa. Since then, we have battled an unprecedented global pandemic. We have lost many community members due to the toxic overdose crisis. Our staff are beyond exhausted. We are so proud of how they have weathered the events of this weekend, as they weather all things, with courage and compassion. Shepherds of Good Hope has been overwhelmed by the response we've received from our community and across the country. Thank you - we are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to highlight the incredible work done by our teams. - Shepherds of Good Hope
