Council adopts Anti-Racism Charter

Council adopted a recreation-based anti-racism charter created by Recreation Nova Scotia and endorsed by our Recreation Services. The Charter was formed by professionals in the recreation field, including our own staff, with the intention of creating safe and inclusive spaces, supporting individuals and communities facing racism, and providing unifying guidelines for the recreation sector.

The Charter acknowledges racism - and the harm that stems from it - that exists in our province and offers actions to stand against it.

The commitments that the Municipality made when endorsing the Charter are:

To acknowledge and address racism, committing to zero tolerance of all forms of racism.
To provide ongoing training and educational opportunities.
To build racially representative communities, proactively including first-voice representation.
Design equitable and inclusive opportunities for racialized people to take on leadership and decision-making roles.
