Day raises awareness of racial discrimination worldwide

Today (Thurs., March 21)  is the United Nations International Day to End Racial Discrimination.

Here in Timmins, the Local Immigration Partnership co-ordinator, Sylvie Lamothe says it’s important to know that racial discrimination  is everywhere across the globe.

“I think last week, the incident that happened in New Zealand highlighted the fact that recognizing this day and bringing awareness on discrimination is very important,” she says, referring to the attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand during Friday prayers.  Fifty people were killed.

My Timmins Now Dot Com asked for her reaction to anyone who would deny that racial discrimination happens in this city.

“That’s a very touch subject, I think.  I would say it does happen everywhere at different levels.”
