Incident Reporting
Based on a prevalence of racism in the history of Thunder Bay and the lack of tracking and monitoring of racism incidents by any one agency or organization there is no mechanism in place to adequately assess or address how racism is negatively impacting the physical and mental health of its residents. There is no agency in Thunder Bay dedicated to responding to individuals experiencing racism and/or race-related oppression; therefore, there has been no way to monitor and track complaints. Tracking cases of racism and discrimination through 211 could be the first step to assess and record the magnitude of what is happening in the community.
