annamalai called for a united anti-racism campaign involving all municipalities. "these targeted racist incidents are not happening in a faraway land; they are happening in kitchener, cambridge and waterloo. this is 100.per cent a local issue,' he said. "why would you not offer me more than words of consideration and take concrete action?" he also addressed the significant growth at conestoga college and the challenges faced by its students. in many cases, it's conestoga's own students that are at the receiving end of racism. they have a $250-million surplus  let's use that to stand up for our community and support the students facing racism,' annamalai said. "this my home and we have a problem and we will come together as onen united community to spread the message of love." annamalai suggested running an awareness campaign on grand river transit buses and ion rapid transit. coun. sue foxton noted everyone in the chamber was an immigrant at some point. "we all have to stand up for this in a gentle way. we have to be respectful and accept one another," she said. "no government can legislate respect, no government can legislate decency." james recalled showing annamala's video to her seven-year-old daughter and explained to her to not let anyone tell her she doesn't belong here. "as someone who is from this community, i never thought that this would be the point that we're at today," she said. "i was quite horrified when i watched your video, said cambridge mayor jan liggett "please do not assume that we do not talk to conestoga about this issue. some of us do. we talk to them about the racism build up in our communities." regional chair karen redman said staff will review the recommendations presented and assured the regional council will reconvene to discuss specific action items to address hate in the community.
