Description
November 3 Toronto The Neighbourhoods Committee, a standing committee of Toronto City Council, heard public deputations on the Bruner Report. Presentations were made by representatives of LBC, TGCC, and RTPC, as well as by MPP Sheila Copps (Lib–Hamilton-Centre). Some presenters opposed the Bruner Report, including Stu Newton of Positive Parents. The committee recommended that only two points be acted on by the police as an indication of good faith before the rest of the report would be considered. These points were that Toronto's police chief Jack Ackroyd publicly recognize the legitimacy of the gay community and that he establish a gay awareness programme for police recruits. The recommendations were considered by Toronto City Council on November 19, 1981. The Neighbourhoods Committee considered the remainder of the Bruner Report at its meeting of January 12, 1982.
