Niagara’s anti-racism committee voices frustration over lack of progress with Niagara police

First Published:

It was an “all talk, no action” kind of meeting according to anti-racism activists in Niagara who have been pushing for change within the regional police service.

During Thursday’s regional council meeting, the chief of police fell short of acknowledging systemic racism within the service, and the meeting came to an end without any action.

Kelly Botelho has the details.
