UPDATE: Joint Statement from Mayor Terri Ugulini and Imam Asad Mahmood re: Lakeview Cemetery
The City of Thorold wishes to clarify that the recent decisions regarding Lakeview Cemetery were made in accordance with municipal by-laws and operational requirements - not based on faith. We recognize the impact this situation has had on the Masud family and extend our sincere apologies for the distress it has caused during an already difficult time.
As a City, we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all our practices. We value the relationships within our community and will continue working collaboratively to ensure respectful and compassionate approaches that meet the diverse needs of our community while upholding municipal policies.
