RCMP are inviting new members to join its Black Engagement Steering Committee to help guide and inform the federal police service on issues and concerns of the black community in this province.

Assistant Commissioner Pat Cahill is seeking community-based volunteers to join the committee.

He says members of the committee will be asked to share their lived experience as a member of the black community, help foster cultural exchange, and serve as a voice on a committee focused on removing barriers and improving engagement.
