Wellington County Warden Kelly Linton and Mayor George Bridge released a joint statement this afternoon regarding a recently disturbing video originating in Harriston which had gone viral.
In the video there were disturbing references to the recent murder of the Afzaal and Salman family in London. The video has been viewed by local municipal officials and the Wellington County OPP.
The individuals seen in the video participate in services offered by the County of Wellington. The hurt expressed from the video is felt not only within the Muslim community but by County staff as well.
The Mayor’s jointly say that the anti-Muslim sentiment expressed in this disgusting video is abhorrent to residents of Wellington County and the Town of Minto and all efforts must be used to denounce hatred in all it’s forms.
The OPP is aware of the video and are investing.
