The London Chamber of Commerce strongly supports the Ontario Big City Mayors’ (OBCM) urgent call for provincial and federal action to address homelessness, mental health, safety, and addictions issues affecting Ontario’s municipalities. The meeting, chaired by London’s Mayor Josh Morgan, emphasized how these challenges have become a critical concern not only for municipalities but also for businesses, especially those in the core areas of our cities. For business communities like London’s, homelessness, addiction, and public safety issues have had a profound impact on the vitality and economic sustainability of downtown and commercial areas.
