🚫 We condemn hate. The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington was the target of a racist act of vandalism. We are deeply saddened and angered by this incident, which directly opposes everything we believe in as a community arts organization. The Municipality of Clarington and the VAC are committed to equity, inclusion, and creating a safe space for all. Racism and hate have no place here—or anywhere. 📰 Read our full statement and a message from Mayor Foster: Link in Bio #NoPlaceForHate #Clarington #VACStandsTogether #EndRacism #CommunityThroughArt (fb)
