MTL Shake, a family dance party planned for Sunday afternoon in Rosemont, was cancelled on Saturday after La Presse reported discounted tickets were being sold for Black, Indigenous and people of colour.
Ticket price for a white adult had been set at $25.83, compared with $15.18 for BIPOC adults. Lawyer Julius Grey, an expert in human rights law, called the initiative an example of “flagrant discrimination,” the newspaper reported.
