Following a contentious council meeting, the city of Pembroke has officially decided to shut down its diversity advisory committee. ottnews
"Because I don't know that we will ever be truly diverse, truly inclusive," Gervais added. "It's a process, if you will.""Who are we, frankly, one of the least diverse group of people sitting around a table, to tell them that their work is done," questioned Kuehl.
Duane Gastant Aucoin, a now former member of the diversity committee, told CTV News those actions were just the first step towards inclusion and diversity in the city. "If you continue to talk about it, you're always going to have it, because all you're doing is throwing more gasoline on the fire," the long time Ottawa Valley politician went on to say.Coun. Troy Purcell was one of two votes against the motion. He said the diversity committee should continue in their work with a more guided focus from council.
Pembroke resident and former member of the now cancelled climate action advisory committee, Dorian Pearce, was in attendance at Tuesday's meeting."City council doesn't get to say that this work is now done, we're done with it, and these issues don't exist anymore."
