At last week’s City Council meeting, the Mayor of Thompson made a proclamation to commemorate today as a day to support racial equality.
Mayor Dennis Fenske proclaimed March 21st as Elimination of Racial Discrimination Day in the City of Thompson, which is also recognized annually by the United Nations with their International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
The proclamation was made during the same meeting that Council voted in favour of three separate motions that support the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
