As protests take place in the U.S., the issue of racism is being brought to the forefront from those who often deal with it in Alberta.

At a meeting Tuesday, council passed a motion asking city administration to prepare a framework to guide, facilitate and coordinate efforts to support inclusion and eliminate racism in Edmonton.

The man who was the target of racial slurs in downtown Edmonton earlier this week met with Mayor Don Iveson Friday morning, and the pair used their time together to come up with a concept to fight racism.
