Hamilton Police are aware that the Dominion Society of Canada continues to seek venues within Hamilton to host its DomCon conference, despite its statement to media indicating it will be moving the conference out of town.
An alternate booking had been secured at another local venue but was cancelled by the venue earlier this morning.
Hamilton Police continue to encourage venues to consider the impact this event and its messaging may have on the broader community when making decisions about hosting it. Anyone with information regarding a recent venue booking for August 29 is asked to contact Hamilton Police at 905-546-4707 or email [email protected].
Hamilton Police are working closely with our local partners and have developed an operational plan to ensure appropriate resources are in place should the event proceed in Hamilton.
The messaging associated with DomCon is divisive and exclusionary and can negatively impact the sense of safety and belonging within our community. We have heard those concerns from members of the community and take them seriously.
Our priority remains the safety of everyone in Hamilton, and we will continue to monitor the situation and respond as appropriate.
