Secord Monument Discussions to Move Forward

The Municipality of Kincardine Council has approved the resources needed to engage the community in meaningful conversations and learning, about equity, diversity and inclusion. The approved community engagement process will assist Council in its decision-making regarding the Secord Monument.

Deputy Mayor Clarke stated that “this engagement process is larger than just a discussion about the monument itself. It is a discussion that fundamentally encompasses equity and diversity and most significantly that of inclusion within our Municipality. This is the opportunity to be that change we want to be.”

Work to engage a consultant will be taking place in the near future. The consultant will work with the Municipality to provide opportunities for the public to explore history and impacts, share perspectives, consider new ideas and form new relationships which will be important to Council’s decision-making process.
