Renfrew Council has taken a series of steps meet the challenge of addressing overt and systemic racism in the Town.
The initial moves Tuesday (December 15th) address issues raised, and backlash from, a CBC expose on Racism in the Valley presented on the public broadcaster the previous week.
That’s Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon, who presented a new by-law intended to replace existing municipal policies, shared a list of resources for community education, arranged a schedule of virtual meeting participation including presentations from the municipality of Westport and various municipal associations, and a liaison with the City of Pembroke.
