The Town of Whitby, which has witnessed several instances of hate, has reaffirmed its condemnation of antisemitism.
Council unanimously approved extending condolences to those impacted by the December 14 terror attack targeting people celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach in Australia.
It also “reaffirmed its condemnation of antisemitism, hate-motivated violence, and discrimination in all forms,” said a town report.
It said a copy of the council resolution will be shared with Chabad Jewish Centre of Durham Region and the Australian High Commission in Canada as an expression of sympathy and solidarity on behalf of the residents of Whitby.
Flags at Town of Whitby facilities flew at half-mast in commemoration of the victims of the attack. Council also affirmed its commitment to “fostering a community grounded in respect, tolerance, and understanding.”
