Statement from the Durham Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) Council - June 3, 2020
On behalf of the Durham Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) Council, Co-Chairs Councillor Bob Chapman and Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development Brian Bridgeman, provide the following statement:
Durham’s communities boast a rich diversity of people, of many different backgrounds and identities, of different colours and cultures, speaking many different languages. These differences and more contribute to the strong social and economic fabric of our communities. We acknowledge that racism is a persistent global issue experienced in Durham and in communities across Canada. In Durham Region, we work to build welcoming communities where all residents can belong. Racism and discrimination of any kind do not have a place in the Region of Durham. Let’s celebrate the characteristics, strengths and talents each of us contribute to Durham’s communities. Together we are stronger and together we all belong.
