A racialized family was enjoying a recreational facility. One of their children began playing a radio and when they were asked to, they turned it off with an apology. A complaint was also made to staff at the facility, whereupon the family was told to leave the park and escorted out by police. The family felt it was because of racial profiling.
The facility agreed to retain a community based organization to review and give input regarding training for racism, racial profiling, and cross-cultural communication issues. This training will be given to all staff as a pilot with a view to implementing in other similar recreational facilities in the same jurisdiction.
