The North Bay Police Service is reporting a 51-year-old city man has been charged with willful promotion of hatred and antisemitism.
City police say he was arrested and charged Friday after a seven-month investigation.
Officials say they received reports last November about online content being produced with multiple warrants issued, and a request submitted to the province’s Attorney General to approve charges of promoting hate.
“The North Bay Police Service is committed to doing our part to ensure North Bay remains an inclusive community and sending the message that hate has no place in today’s society,” says Acting Deputy Chief Jeff Warner.
The service says it recognizes the significant impact that hate-motivated incidents can have on the community and urges everyone to report incidents when they happen.
