A Note for Niagara At Large readers
The Niagara branch of Amnesty International is hosting former Toronto mayor John Sewell for an address he will deliver in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario this Wednesday, October 12 on the topic of ‘How We Are Policed In Canada’.
Former Toronto mayor John Sewell
Sewell, a long-time advocate for better public transit, more sustainable urban growth and other social justice causes, has also not been afraid to say, as a former mayor of the largest city in Canada, how he feels about the conduct of police forces at last year’s G20 summit and related issues.
Sewell, who is now chair of the Toronto Police Accountability Coalition, will address such matters as racial profiling, assault and strip searches, and he will be available to sing copies of his book ‘Police In Canada: The Real Story.’
The Amnesty event featuring Sewell will begin at 7 p.m. on October 12 in the Simpson Room of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre off Niagara Stone Road (Regional Route 55) on your way into the Old Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
