Police Board: Javid Mirza and Muslim Community

police board: Levy has already served six years on the civilian board, which sets police policies and oversees a $164-million budget, according to Hamilton Spectator. Tick has served two years. According to Liberal MPP Ted McMeekin, the province is set on reappointing board members Madeleine Levy to another two-year term and Stan Tick for three more years. Both their current terms are set to expire this week. The seven-member police board is entirely white. By not replacing one or both with a qualified member of a visible minority the province has blown an opportunity to reflect Hamilton growing diversity, says Javid Mirza, a well-known member of the Muslim community."It too bad," said a disappointed Mirza, who submitted his own name to the province as a potential appointee at, he says, the urging of members of the Muslim community."I think the city has to look the way the city population is."About 18 per cent of Hamilton population is made up of visible minorities, including aboriginal Canadians.
