Race relations is an important and fundamental issue in Prince Albert.
Too often, our community has seen the effects of racial division whether through minor incidents of rude comments on the street or through major acts of aggression and systemic discrimination that keeps people from being full participants in our society. On Wednesday evening, a meeting was set to allow public input into the proposed race relations and social equality policy drafted by the city's race relations committee. No one from the public attended - only the committee members and a news reporter were there. The committee will try again on Monday at 7 p.m. at Vickers Schools. The meeting is open to everyone interested.
