Description
July 13 Toronto Five months after the February 5 bath raids, Toronto City Council voted eighteen to three to appoint articling law student and former Globe and Mail reporter Arnold Bruner to conduct a study of police-gay community relations in Toronto. Bruner was expected to interview members of the gay community and the police department and produce a report by September 1981. Members of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Association as well as gays expressed doubts as to whether Bruner could produce a meaningful report that would lead to positive change in local police-gay community relations. (See also August 18, 1981; September 24, 1981; and November 3, 1981.)
