When your air conditioner decides to make an escape... π
All jokes aside, this highlights a bigger issue facing many local businesses.
Small businessesβespecially in their first few yearsβare working hard to build their reputation, serve their customers, and establish themselves in the community. When property is intentionally vandalized, it creates unexpected costs and setbacks that many simply don't budget for.
This may be a relatively minor repair, but many local businesses are dealing with vandalism, theft, and property damage on a regular basis. Every incident impacts real people, local jobs, and the businesses that help our community thrive.
City of Orillia and Orillia District Chamber of Commerce, what more can be done to help address this growing concern and support our local business community?
