Human Rights Commisioner, Renu Mandhane says there is "a real moment right now for the city and the police service to rebuild trust" THUNDER BAY By Matt Vis - TB Source ntario's human rights commissioner believes the Otime to act is now to implement recommendations at addressing racism within the Thunder Bay police force. The Office of the Independent Police Review director late last year released a report detailing its system review of the Thunder Bay Police Service, which found that systemic racism exists at the institutional level within the force, particularly relating to discriminatorily inadequate Indigenous death investigations.. The report prepared by OIPRD director Gerry McNeilly resulted in 44 recommendations aimed at various aspects of policing and policies within the police service, including sudden death investigations, missing persons cases and addressing racism. Ontario Human Rights Commission chief commissioner Renu Mandhane, who arrived in Thunder Bay on BOOK Thursday for a two­day visit, said those recommendations provide a road map to move forward. “What we’ve seen is that it has to be quick action. It NOW! can’t be three years later we’re still considering how to implement the report,” Mandhane said. “I think there is a real moment right now for the city and VIS MATT REBUILDING TRUST: Ontario Human Rights Commission the police service to rebuild trust because there’s hope.
