๐๐งนJust the other day Atheena Murray had someone come in and steal some merchandiseโฆ this is nothing new when you have a business in the downtown Prince George area. Last time it was Atheenaโs front door being smashed in, items stolen, and now she has a wooden doorโฆ things have to change!! Businesses being set on fire too!! All jokes aside with this reel but awareness is important and if they arenโt going to take us seriously then maybe some humour will make it mainstream enough to catch their attention. Itโs not just about cleaning up our downtown streets or putting security measures in place (SMILE YOUโRE ON CAMERA!) itโs also about the fact that people are struggling as times are getting tougher. This crisis is much bigger than just PG itself. Also, when you steal from a โmom and popโ shop that supports other small businesses, local artists, elderly retired makers, and families youโre not just wrecking it for the owner but for everyone else too! Places that support and sell handmade local products go directly back into the community so donโt steal from these boutiques (in general of course too) cause you donโt realize a lot of us small businesses actually donate more than big box stores or massive companies. If you simply reach out Iโm sure most of us would try our best to give you a deal or see what we can gift if youโre really down bad too!๐งน๐
