We are outraged at the hate-motivated shootings that took place in Buffalo, New York and Laguna Woods, California. We grieve for the victims of these deadly attacks targeting the Black and Taiwanese communities, and our hearts go out to their families.

With the rise in extremist and racist incidents here in Canada and across the globe, we stand resolute against violent acts of racism and intolerance. We also remain committed to fighting all forms of racism and discrimination on our campus.
