Members of the Black community in Hamilton are looking to form an advisory panel to "address, respond and prioritize" concerns about policing in the city, according to the executive director of Hamilton's Anti-Racism Resource Centre.
Hate-crime numbers in Hamilton hit their highest level in 2021 since 2012, with Black, Jewish, Muslim and LGBTQ communities the most common targets, according to new police data. Statistics Canada previously reported the Ontario city had the country's highest per-capita rate of hate crimes in 2019, 2018, 2016 and 2014.
