Ontario is holding nine community meetings across the province over the coming months to engage with the public on addressing systematic racism and eliminating barriers for Indigenous and racialized communities.
The community meetings, hosted by Michael Coteau, Minister Responsible for Anti-Racism, will help further the public dialogue and identify priority areas for the province's Anti-Racism Directorate as it applies an anti-racism perspective to government policies, programs and services.
In our region the meeting will take place on Friday, October 7 in London
Meeting details, including times and locations, will be posted on Ontario.ca/antiracism
