Ms. Creighton -Smith commented on concerns shared by Darlington Debah, that Leisure
Services denied his application to hold an event at Byrnes Park, told him he could not have his
music there and instead, was told he could move the event to the north-east side. She stated

with music. She further stated that it shows how vital our Human Rights Commission is, and
the community will continue to raise their voice on the issue. She commented that there is a
need for a workshop with the Waterloo Police Department on how our officers treat our
residents from other countries, and also provided details of her upcoming Ward meeting.
