Drug use in Ottawa is strongly correlated with overflowing judicial system, lack of housing solutions, and job stability. It's not suprising that there are those who take drugs in public when they know the police won't arrest them, they are safer outside than in a shelter, and there is nothing better to do than get high. Addiction will always be part of the human condition, but the citizens of Ottawa routinely cast aside & ignore those who can be helped; even just a little.

I grew up in Ottawa, the east end of the city is surprisingly ghetto.

When I talk to people from other parts of the world it amazes me how they did not have the same drug and violence filled upbringing that I had. I was glad to escape.

Ottawa is a nice city but at night I felt in some danger as there were a lot of drug addicts which is such a shame because it is a pretty city. Downtown at night we were approached by a group of junkies which made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Would not recommend solo female travellers to go unless they are trained.

Hello Linda,
The Shaw Centre is located in suburbia heaven.
The only thing to fear is boredom.
