We were incredibly proud of Abbotsford last weekend after seeing a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest to highlight issues of systemic racism. Watching people of many backgrounds and ages come together to help advocate for change gives us hope for a better future.
However, we were saddened to learn today that the memorial created during the protest was destroyed with apparent malicious intent. Hate has no place in our community - unfortunately, we are not immune to racism in Canada.

I was given the distinct honour of presenting Cst Davidson’s headdress at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Ottawa. A true privilege, that filled me with pride and sorrow at the same time. @AbbyPoliceDept #alwaysremember386
