Arnprior mayor sends letter to town's residents, denying systemic racism within the community
ARNPRIOR -- Many residents in Arnprior, Ont. were shocked this week when they found a letter in their mailbox titled "My Opinion" from Mayor Walter Stack. The four page letter addressed "To all the residents of Arnprior" states Stack’s opinion that he does "not believe Racism is systemic in Arnprior." The letter was released after ongoing claims from residents that racism is, in fact, systemic in the town west of Ottawa "I had to read it a couple of times to really believe what I was seeing," says Candice Nault, a resident in the town and mother of two Black sons.
