Recently, Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc. (DMCI) has received notes of concerns from you, our downtown property owners and businesses, regarding the social issues occurring in the downtown. This was brought up at a recent Board of Directors meeting where we invited the City of Moncton’s By-Law Enforcement Services and members of the Codiac RCMP to discuss how to help you better deal with these concerns.

Action Items:

1. Pilot Project

• By-law Enforcement will work in collaboration with the Codiac RCMP to first assess and analyze the issues.
• The Codiac RCMP will provide one regular member per day from Monday to Saturday (with a particular focus on the Market on Saturdays) who will assist a by‐law officer from the City of Moncton in walking the “beat” for approximately 2 hours per day.
• Their encounters / occurrences will be noted and compiled for analysis. The pilot project will be supported by the Codiac RCMP Community Policing Unit.
• The pilot project began on March 4^th and will be reviewed monthly.

2. Lunch and Learn – Mark your calendars!

• Save the date of April 24^th at Noon for a lunch and learn at the Peace Centre (main auditorium) located at 22 Church Street.
• The Public Safety Advisory Committee in collaboration with DMCI will provide a free Lunch & Learn to all downtown stakeholders. At this meeting we hope to provide you with an update on the pilot project as well as provide you with tools and tips to better deal with these social and security issues in future. More details to follow.

We hope to see your business represented at this meeting. We all have a role to play in
cultivating a dynamic and appealing Downtown environment for working, shopping, living and investing.

The Downtown Moncton Evaluation was initiated by the City of Moncton Economic Development Division and Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc. (DMCI). The project was focused on gathering and presenting data about downtown Moncton.
