cont’d from pg. 1

National Anthem, Ms. Patricia Shirley was called upon to sing the Black National Anthem. It was followed by a short welcome address by Police Chief Jim MacSween. He was all smiles as he saw the huge crowd of civilians and Police Officers in the atrium. He said that after he was sworn in as Police Chief “our efforts to combat anti-black racism, both in our service and in our community were intensified.” Thereafter, Norma McCullough of the York Regional Police

(YRPSB) addressed the audience on behalf of YRPSB. The 29th edition Legacy Black History Month poster by artist Robert Small was also unveiled.

The keynote speaker was Mrs. Ginelle Skerritt, CEO of York Region Children’s Aid Society. She spoke about the reality of anti-black racism and the toll it is having on Black children which need to be addressed. The trauma on our children as they see events on TV and social media is for real. She added that it is important to acknowledge the ongoing fight for true freedom and recognition of our humanity. cont’d on pg. 47
