THUNDER BAY — A pair of local organizations have asked the City of Thunder Bay to deepen its commitment to the LGBT+ community, seeking to expand the visibility symbols of inclusion and run awareness training for city council, among other steps.
Leaders with the two groups cited a Statistics Canada hate crimes report released earlier this year, which showed a 64-per-cent rise in hate crimes targeting sexual orientation in 2021. Closer to home, the groups referenced a recent protest of a local gym over its policy allowing transgender clients to use the change room they feel most comfortable in as an example of LGBT+ hate in the Thunder Bay community.Those requests were referred to administration for review in a unanimous vote, with a report due back by Dec. 18.
