A large police presence awaited those returning from the uOttawa\u002DCarleton football game, intent on preventing a repeat of 2021 disturbances.
The Ottawa Police will also provide the names of university students charged with criminal offences to Carleton University and the University of Ottawa so that student conduct rules may be applied.
Ottawa Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police and City of Ottawa Bylaw and Regulatory Services officers were out in full force in Sandy Hill on Saturday.Steve Higham, who lives on the block between Somerset Street East and Templeton Avenue — the eye of last year’s riot — erected temporary construction fencing in front of his and two neighbours’ houses.
“Those are going to be very motivating for the police to get a win,” Higham predicted. “Nobody wants to see the police out in riot gear. We just want them to be out and visible so people know that they can’t be out carrying alcohol and spilling onto the street. Something has to happen before that gets out of control.
This year, he said, more police were on hand in the morning as many students made their way through the neighbourhood to an organized pre-game tailgate party at Sandy Hill Arena.One 79-year-old woman stood outside her property, shooing away uOttawa fans who got out of a car in front of her. “Go away,” she told them. “No parties.” The woman said she hoped the police presence would be greater this year and she hoped the officers would stay until one or two in the morning.
The bombardment of parties in the area, LaRose added, “is one of the main things that propels people to move out of the neighbourhood.” Russell Avenue resident Dominic Salotti said he didn’t want to paint the issue strictly as residents versus students, adding that some students he knew in the area were similarly frightened by last year’s problems.
