Young staff confronted by trauma as Campbell River asked to address nearby Overdose Prevention site
The horror of the addictions crisis in Campbell River hit employees of the city’s Dairy Queen restaurant particularly hard Wednesday, Oct. 25.
The incident occurred around 9:40 p.m., just before the restaurant’s closing time. The individual was revived and the incident reported to the RCMP, DQ owner Rob Bigelow said. Two years ago, Bigelow says, the DQ’s assistant manager, who was pregnant at the time, asked a crowd of people abusing drugs on the patio to move along. She was threatened by a person with an illegally-obtained taser. Last spring, there was an incident involving someone waving a stolen sawed-off shotgun around the restaurant’s side door.
He adds later, “On several occasions we have come in to find unresponsive people in our parking lot or on the front curb, which is very traumatic to anyone who thinks they just found someone dead on the ground.”
