Development and Opportunity Minister Terry Lister will get public reaction to Government's plan to introduce workplace race reporting at a meeting in Sandys tonight.

And to avoid a scheduling conflict, the Public Forum on Bermuda's Open Spaces, which is being hosted by the Ministry of the Environment, has been rescheduled to Thursday night.

The Commission for Unity and Race Equality meeting tonight at St. James' Hall is the first of six open forums on rule amendments which were thrown out by the Senate last month.
