Hello, Townhall meeting this Thursday June 4th @5:30pm It has been an extraordinarily difficult time for the Black community, and I would like hear from you.... As the Prime Minister echoed earlier this week, we can’t pretend that racism doesn’t exist here in Canada. The images and stories we’ve been seeing lately are all too familiar for many of our neighbours. Anti-Black racism is real. Unconscious bias is real. Systemic discrimination is real. We must continue to take meaningful action to fight racism and discrimination in all its forms. In an effort to create a safe and open space for honest and constructive dialogue regarding anti-Black racism here in Canada, I would like to invite you to a Black Community Townhall this Thursday (tomorrow) at 5:30pm. My apologies for the very late notice for this meeting. We felt it was urgent and important so we are starting this conversation ASAP. It won’t be the last time we convene to talk about these important issues, so rest assured we are available at other times for feedback, but we hope you can join us online tomorrow. Please share the invite broadly to your contacts and community. In an effort to keep the q&a portion as safe as possible, and a place for honest discourse, we won’t be recording or broadcasting the conversation. Notes will be taken, and feedback will be delivered to various federal minister and departments. This conversation is meant to inspire action and change, not just more dialogue. As a Member of Parliament it is imperative that I hear from you, learn from you, and understand what I can do to better represent and support everyone in our community I look forward to seeing you online, today evening.
