CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The Black Cultural Society of P.E.I. will be meeting at noon today in Rochford Square with a petition for Islanders to sign, calling on the province to review legislation and policies to ensure they are inclusive.
“Racial inequalities and inequities exist in Prince Edward Island as experienced by the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. We petition the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island as follows: That the Prince Edward Island government performs an extensive review of all provincial legislation and policies, applying an inclusive and racially-focused lens, with an immediate focus on education, health care, well-being, and job security.”
The society will be at Rochford Square on Thursday, June 10, from 12-1 p.m. and 4-6 p.m.
