On May 26, 2022, Dennis King, Premier of Prince Edward Island, and Stephanie Arnold, Chair of Anti-Racism Table, issued a statement regarding the most recent racist incidents. They named these incidents unacceptable and reminded us how it is important to come together to condemn racism in all of its forms. Despite the province has made progress in efforts to address systemic racism and injustice, some people continue to face these hardships based on their skin colour, background, or religious beliefs.
