Description
March 26 Toronto A large public meeting, held at the Council Chamber, Toronto City Hall, resulted in the formation of the Working Group on Police-Minority Relations. The working group was formed in response to the racist and homophobic articles published in the March 1979 issue of News and Views, and to police resistance to taking appropriate disciplinary action against officers who abused minorities. (See also March 28, 1979, and June 12, 1979.)
