KITCHENER --
A New Hamburg church is hoping some lawn signs will start a conversation about diversity in Wilmot Township.
The signs read: “We value diversity. Black lives matter. Indigenous lives matter. People of colour matter.”
They were first created in Listowel and have now started popping up on lawns in New Hamburg after members of St. George’s Anglican Church agreed to help sell them.
“Sometimes it can be difficult to actually voice it in a conversation with people, but to have the signs there, maybe opens an opportunity for a conversation,” said Reverend Margaret Walker with St. George’s Anglican Church.
