The head of the Markham Public Library is promising to undertake a “thorough review” after a decision was made to briefly remove Islamic Heritage Month displays from branches while complaints from staff and community members about favouring one side of the Israel-Hamas war were being investigated.
Markham Public Library removed Islamic Heritage Month displays from its branches after it received complaints from the community amid the Israel-Hamas war, but it put the displays back the same day following a management review, its CEO says.
The CEO of Markham Public Library is apologizing after an email was leaked directing staff to remove Islamic Heritage Month displays due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.
