Leader welcomes anti-racism exhibition move

Margaret Davidson, Leader of the Highland Council welcomed the agreement by Eden Court to display anti-racism posters. She said:  “The offer from Eden Court to exhibit “Black Lives Matter” posters at the theatre is a welcome initiative, recognising the important issues raised and allowing the voices of local people to be heard.

“The Highland Council is committed to equality and diversity and to making sure that in Highland, everyone is free to live their lives without fear of discrimination or prejudice. There is no place for racism in Highland or indeed elsewhere.”

She added:  “The Highland Council is supportive of peaceful expressions of support that do not compromise the personal health and safety of anyone during COVID-19 restrictions.  Officers have been in regular communication with organisers and Police to this effect.”
