Chamber Shares RCMP AGENT Program with Downtown Businesses
Following the Chamber's Conversation with the RCMP earlier this month, Member & Vendor Experience Specialist Tammy visited downtown members to share information about the AGENT (Authorized General Enforcement for Nuisances and Trespassing) Program.
The program enables participating businesses to authorize RCMP officers to act on their behalf when addressing trespassing, loitering, and nuisance behaviour when property owners are unavailable. By connecting members with practical safety resources and following up on important conversations, the Chamber continues to support businesses in creating safer workplaces and a stronger downtown community.
Businesses interested in learning more about the AGENT Program or how to participate are encouraged to reach out to Tammy. |
