"Before 2019, it was 24 hours. If you were coming back from a night out, you'd go to that McDonald's—well, you wouldn't go to that McDonald's because it would be crowded. It would be very hectic, there's a lot of fights there, it's a crime hot spot, but at the same time, it's kind of a funny place. It's a running joke in Ottawa," De Silvia-Legault said.
While the McDonald's had its reputation, it was still a place where anyone could find a bit of shelter. The march was not just a bit of ironic humour, it also aimed to bring in donations of non-perishable food supplies for the Shepherds of Good Hope shelter, just blocks away.is also raising money for local charities Operation Come Home and Voice Found, which help homeless and at-risk youth and survivors of human trafficking and child sexual abuse.
