The Pas and District Chamber of Commerce is calling on The Town of The Pas to take serious action regarding concerns over safety and negative impacts on businesses in the downtown area.

 

Chamber president Trent Allen says there has been a long vocal outcry regarding the problems associated with loitering and vandalism in the area.

 

A survey conducted two years ago found that the downtown area was the greatest concern to respondents with the 200 block of Edwards Avenue topping the list of troublesome locations.

 

Concerns with the downtown area often increase in the spring and summer and the chamber wants the town of The Pas to reinforce their commitment to support local businesses and help address these concerns.
