Night Ambassadors are coming to the ByWard Market to help ensure everyone has a safe night out
June 4, 2025
Thanks to a contribution of $35,000 from the City of Ottawa’s Nightlife Office, the ByWard Market District Authority is launching a Night Ambassadors pilot program to improve community safety and visitor outreach during the evening and early morning hours in the ByWard Market.
Starting June 27 until early November, the Night Ambassadors will be in the Market on Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30 pm to 4 am. Providing additional eyes on the street, the Night Ambassadors will enhance community safety and wellbeing by:
- Practising bystander intervention and de-escalation
- Helping patrons and employees find a safe ride home
- Connecting people with emergency and social services
- Supporting patrons to charge phones and access essentials such as first aid and water.
