The owner of a daycare in downtown Ottawa says she is being forced to shut her doors due to homelessness, crime, and drug use in the surrounding area, at least until she finds a new location.
Pam Benoit, the director of Sandy Hill Child Care since 1997, appeared on CBC’s Ottawa Morning show on Aug. 31. The daycare is currently housed in the basement of the old St. Paul’s Eastern Church, following a fire at their former location in December 2022.
