The commissioner for celebrations for the City of Montreal's 375 anniversary celebrations next year has apologized after concerns were raised that a promotional video released Tuesday featured only white performers and did not reflect Montreal's cultural make-up.
Gilbert Rozon told CJAD " It went on air without me seeing it. It's my responsibility... I should have seen it before." "It's my mistake and I cannot say anything else than I apologize"
Rozon has ordered the producers to make a new video that better reflects Montreal's diversity.
It will be used to promote a TV show which will highlight programming for next year's anniversary celebrations.
