Small businesses in downtown Kamloops are taking action against crime by installing signs in their store front windows in response to a recent act of criminal activity and a shared fear their businesses are not being protected.
The signs read, "We Stand With Continental Barber Shop", a shop that was the victim of crime on Canada Day. The incident, and the way it was managed by the City of Kamloops community services department, inspired a sign campaign for the safety, support and protection of downtown businesses. Lise Mitra is the owner of Continental Barber Shop.
