Description

June 2 Toronto Representatives of forty Metro Toronto minority organizations, including the Urban Alliance on Race Relations (UARR) and RTPC, held a press conference to denounce the inadequacies of the police complaints bill introduced into the Ontario legislature on May 15. The groups believed that the Ontario government had failed to produce an acceptable mechanism for resolving problems between the police and minority communities. This frustration in turn led to a meeting at City Hall on June 9 to discuss the establishment of a Citizens' Independent Review of Police Actions (CIRPA). (See also July 13, 1981.)
