Description

February 24 Toronto Metropolitan Toronto Police Chief Jack Ackroyd delivered a report on the February 5 bathhouse raids to Mayor Art Eggleton stating that the police had not used excessive force in the raids. Eggleton accepted the report, and did not call for a public inquiry. Representatives of the gay community called the report a "whitewash"; George Hislop stated that Mayor Eggleton was "playing hand in glove with the police." (See also February 26, 1981.)
