Ward 13 Coun. Dan McLean said he wants to take responsibility after videos surfaced last week allegedly showing him engaging in racist stereotypes and mocking Indigenous people.
At the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting of council, McLean agreed to sit with a circle of Indigenous elders and offered to step away from his role on council committees to demonstrate that he “must make amends.”
“I do want to take responsibility and demonstrate that I’m willing to learn, grow, change and be better. That does start with the circle of elders,” McLean told council. “I want to thank my council mates and the Indigenous community for allowing me this great opportunity.”
