Need towork hard to root out, websites that support and spreadhatred and Islamophobia.

Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society strongly condemns the heinous and racially motivated extremist attack that happened in London, Ontario on Sunday June 6, 2021.

Five innocent family members from three generations were intentionally and viciously mowed down by a pickup truck driven by a demented bigot. A family was destroyed – a community was terrorized – and the whole nation was left in shock and disbelief.

While we join the nation in grieving yet another horrific murder of innocent civilians, we strongly urge the Government to take tangible measures to put an end to the spread of hate, intolerance, racism and Islamophobia in our country. Canada is a multicultural, diverse and inclusive nation buttressed by our globally cherished values of human liberty. We must all join hands to stand in solidarity against such blatant perpetration of violence which strikes the core that holds us together through coherence and peaceful coexistence. Canada is one of the best countries to live in the world – a true heaven on Earth and we must work hard to maintain that reality. People from every community, faith, race, culture and religion have the right to freely live and thrive without fearing for their safety and security as also of their loved ones. We owe it to our families and our future generations. PICS Society reiterates its commitment to keep working judiciously towards building an inclusive and mutually respectful society.
