Following the tragic death of Sam Nordquist, Canandaigua City Council adopted a resolution reaffirming its commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. The measure denounces hate, bigotry, and discrimination, emphasizing the city’s dedication to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for all residents and visitors.
Council members stressed the importance of respect and support for historically marginalized groups. The resolution pledges to uphold these values in city governance and community life, ensuring access to services and programs for all individuals.
This action follows community vigils for Nordquist and widespread calls for justice. City leaders hope the resolution serves as a reminder that Canandaigua stands for dignity, peace, and inclusivity.
