The Ontario government has announced a series of public meetings on fighting systemic racism. More dates will be scheduled for Ottawa, Sudbury, London, Windsor, Thunder Bay, and another in the Greater Toronto Area. The community meetings come as the government sets up an anti-racism directorate, headed up by Liberal cabinet minister Michael Coteau. The first meeting is set for July 14 in Toronto, and dates of Sept. 13 in east-end Toronto and Sept. 27 in Mississauga have also been announced. A statement says officials at the meetings will be looking for input on the directorate’s mandate and priority areas to apply an anti-racism perspective to government policies, programs and services.
