TO EVERYONE

We are here on our social media to express a deeply concerning issue we were made aware of yesterday by several concerned citizens. Atrium denounces and rejects the views of all white supremacy groups and encourages the efforts being made by citizens to help others be more aware that these groups exist.

The Atrium and its staff do not represent or support any specific social political view. We are a company that provides the highest quality food and service in the hospitality industry.

Thanks to several concerned citizens calling in and actively protesting we were made aware that a last-minute booking of a film documentary under a personal name was actually a white supremist rally with the explicit intent on spreading misinformation.

This is disheartening and we are truly ashamed to be associated with this in any way. The majority of our company including its owner are immigrants. Some are on temporary work permits others have their permanent residency and are in the process of becoming Canadian citizens. Without immigrants Atrium would not exist.

The only responsible next step for our company is to help spread awareness of this issue. Please be aware that even in 2026, after the many advances and sacrifices made for people to have equal opportunity and rights there are still groups in our communities that intend to move us backwards.

FROM,

ATRIUM FAMILY

I am deeply troubled that a white nationalist anti-immigration organization held an event at a private venue in Burlington. Let me be clear: this is not welcome in Burlington.

We celebrate people of all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures. We reject those who would seek to divide us.

This is a reminder to all businesses to be vigilant and ensure their spaces aren’t used to spread hate.

Our community stands together in supporting the many diverse cultures in our city. You make our city better.

Sincerely,

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward

City of Burlington

The City is aware of reports regarding the conference being held in Burlington. The event is not taking place at a City-owned or City-operated facility.

Burlington is proud to be a diverse and inclusive community. We reject hatred, discrimination and intolerance in all forms. Hate has no place in Burlington, and we remain committed to creating a city where everyone feels welcome, valued, respected and safe.

Recently a steel manufacturing plant has been constructed less than 500m from St. Anne on Palladium Way in Burlington. According to the ERO (https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/026-0829) contaminant emissions include nitrogen oxide gasses which can cause respiratory issues, specifically in children and vulnerable populations.

Earlier this year the city council (including the Ward Councillor where it's located) voted to rezone Palladium and other areas to allow for the construction of manufacturing facilities (this would also include Data Centres) on Palladium. This is directly antithetical to the original intent and purpose of the commercial zoning of Palladium. In fact, Ward 6 Councillor Angelo Bentivegna told me in an email residents were informed the rezoning would be for a distribution center, and somehow no one at the city, school board, or council, thought it would be a bad idea to expand the rezoning to include manufacturing. The facility also creates a 24/7 hum that residents can hear and feel all hours of the day. ​

This is why municipal elections matter. We cannot elect people who are either asleep at the wheel or otherwise ignorant to the concerns of citizens. ​
