On June 29, 2020, Barrie City Council approved a motion, sponsored by Barrie Police to establish an Anti-Racism Task Force.

Seven volunteers have been chosen to work actively with police services, school boards, community groups, municipal organizations, social services, business, labour and government agencies in order to facilitate a stronger understanding of the needs of the City's racialized populations.

More than 30 applications were received from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds and experiences. An independent panel of individuals, who are actively engaged in cultural and anti-racism efforts from outside of our community, met to review the applications and determine the final composition of the task force. The seven individuals chosen by this panel are active in the community and eager to contribute to these efforts.
