On October 24th, Waterloo Region will be part of a string of community meetings across Ontario held by the province's anti-racism directive. Over the coming months the provincial government hopes to engage with communities to address racism and help eliminate barriers for Indigenous and racialized communities. The meetings will shed light on anti-Black and Indigenous racism, Islamophobia and other communities that have experienced racism. He also says that many in the community don't think the region has a problem with racism. But when asked if they knew someone who has experienced racism, the majority responded yes.
