Recently, the City of Toronto approved a motion to build a Tamil genocide monument. The first one was constructed at Brampton in Ontario.
Tamil Guardian has reported that the Toronto City Council unanimously passed a motion on May 22 for the city to work with the Tamil community to build a Tamil Genocide Monument in Scarborough.
The motion was moved by Parthi Kandavel, city councillor for Scarborough Southwest, and seconded by fellow councillor Josh Matlow, representing Toronto-St. Paul's.
The motion has requested the city to identify a site in the City of Toronto Park in Scarborough to house the monument under the provisions of the City's Public Art and Monument Donations Policy.
