How are you going to change the institutional of every sector in Durham Region including the mentality of the police force to reduce Black racism?

Solutions for Addressing Systemic Anti-Black Racism

This is Kirk Mark, a resident of Pickering, and a retired senior administrator with the Toronto Catholic District School Board. I have had the pleasure to know Celina and David, and many thanks to all who are participating. My question for the panelists is as follows: What do you recommend as the first steps for cities and towns in Durham to address Systemic Anti-Black Racism?

Question

Will the Region be engaging with black youth and looking into how they've experienced racism within academic systems (from jk to post secendary) in Durham? as well as with the contact with the DRP...will their experiences and voices help the region to shape future policies and ways various settings and systems attempt to build relationships with them?
