Old white male dead wrong about the civil rights battle

The Editor, Re: Time To Uncancel Diversity of Opinion.

I read this looking for some common sense, until I got to this sentence: “The fact is, the civil rights battles over skin colour, gender, and sexual orientation rights were largely won long ago”.

This is obviously written by an old white male who feels quite good about himself and his accomplishments. Unfortunately, he’s dead wrong about civil rights battles being won long ago. And this fact only displays his own refusal to listen to diversity of opinion.

While many of you resume your back-to-work and backto-school routines after last month’s holiday season, the MVCA continues to organize, plan, facilitate and communicate on your behalf.

In welcoming a New Year the Board of the MVCA is pleased to welcome two new Board members, Bruce Fanjoy, Director, Transportation and Community Well-Being and Randy Andersson, Treasurer stepping in for Zachary King. Many of you may know Bruce from his regular ‘walk-abouts’ in the village, stopping for casual chats to listen first-hand to your concerns about public safety and traffic issues. Both Bruce and Randy bring extensive personal and professional expertise to their respective offices. Gentlemen, we look forward to working with you in the year ahead! We’d also like to thank those who expressed an interest in these positions on the Board. There is much volunteer work to be done and we’ll be reaching out to you.

Zachary, you will be missed. You have brought a unique energy and fresh ideas to our team. We wish you continued success in all your pursuits!
