Description

January Ottawa Members of GO met with representatives of the Ottawa police to discuss relationships between police and the gay community. MPP Michael Cassidy (NDP –Ottawa-Centre) also attended the meeting. GO hoped to educate the police as to gay and lesbian concerns, particularly issues such as the bath raids and assaults in public parks, and to work towards a reduction in harassment of the community by the local police morality squad. This meeting was productive, and led to the appointment of Staff Sergeant Bill Cathcart as police liaison to the gay community.
