A new campaign launched in Mississauga this week uses eye-catching posters to call out common acts of racism and discrimination.
This comes a year after Peel Regional Police reported a rise in hate crimes related to race, sexual orientation and religion.
“Mississauga is a global city and so every time there’s global conflicts, it sort of has impacts here,” said local councillor Dipika Damerla, chair of the city’s committee combating racism, discrimination and hatred.
