A charity that runs a museum in Oshawa has received nearly $3,000 in city fines for allowing "nuisance activity" on its property. An Oshawa museum is facing nearly $3,000 in city fines for allowing "nuisance activity" on its property, but it says it needs help, not penalties, from the city to keep the museum safe. Alexandra Miller-Gerrard, executive director and curator of the Canadian Automotive Museum, says an order from the city alleged in June 2025 that unhoused people were loitering, fighting, screaming, yelling and littering on museum property and the museum was required to address the "disorderly" behaviour. 15, the museum has received seven fines from the city totalling $2,750. At least one expert says the city is not dealing with the problem of homelessness by fining the charitable organization that runs the museum, which showcases historic vehicles.
