Abbotsford First

AbbotsfordFIRST is a team of leaders working together for positive change.

[Abbotsford First @abbotsfordfirst]

As leaders in our community, we commit to working to end systemic racism in municipal institutions. This is a journey, not a destination. We are here to learn and listen and we encourage you to reach out and share your ideas and experiences along the way.

[Abbotsford First @abbotsfordfirst]

We were incredibly proud of Abbotsford last weekend after seeing a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest to highlight issues of systemic racism. Watching people of many backgrounds and ages come together to help advocate for change gives us hope for a better future.

However, we were saddened to learn today that the memorial created during the protest was destroyed with apparent malicious intent. Hate has no place in our community - unfortunately, we are not immune to racism in Canada.

I was given the distinct honour of presenting Cst Davidson’s headdress at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Ottawa. A true privilege, that filled me with pride and sorrow at the same time. @AbbyPoliceDept #alwaysremember386
