Report North Bay ran a poll from June 5-21, 2024 regarding your perception of being safe in the city considering the recent gun violence, violent home invasion and general crime we are seeing in the city. Further the business community has stated they are "Fed Up" and are looking for concrete results to the situation as they are on the front lines dealing with crime.
