Winnipeg's mayor is calling a summit for next month as the city tries to shake off being dubbed the most racist in Canada.
Mayor Brian Bowman says the race relations summit, to be held by the Canadian Centre for Human Rights, will continue a much-needed discussion about racism.
He says there is no doubt Winnipeg has a racism problem, as do other Canadian cities.
Bowman says the two-day summit will bring people together to share ideas on how to fight intolerance and celebrate success stories.
The summit is to feature a keynote speech by award-winning author Joseph Boyden.
Bowman tearfully promised to tackle racism in January when Winnipeg was labelled the most racist city in Canada by a cover story in Maclean's magazine.
