Toronto<\/strong>. I have been a member since the first year of the PHSC and in that time we have had speakers and members regardless of race, religion, or gender (the full gamut). In that time I have seen only one black photographer and a few women as members. In later years, we saw more female photographers, female speakers, and speakers of colour.<\/p>\n

As a society (especially in Canada), we can all be more open and embracing. On behalf of the PHSC, our VP, Ms Ashley Cook, wrote the following heart-felt message in reaction to the sad death of George Floyd south of the border and the ensuing days of discontent world wide:<\/p>\n

“We acknowledge that we need to show more diversity within the photographic history of this country.\u00a0This is the time to learn, build empathy, and understanding.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“BLACK LIVES MATTER”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
