This is the best summary I could come up with:


City officials in Metro Vancouver have described signs advertising a "whites-only" social group for mothers and children as "vile garbage."

On Sunday, social media posts about the "Whites-only Moms and Tots" group meant for families of European descent began popping up on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, with many condemning the posters as racist.

Officials with the neighbouring City of Port Coquitlam said they had been alerted to the posters over the weekend and directed bylaw officers to search for them and remove them.

"As soon as it was brought to our attention, bylaw officers immediately searched the area and all bus stops, but no signs were present.

In its statement, Port Coquitlam condemned the signs and the group they advertise "in the strongest terms," adding that the city "promotes an environment without hate."

CBC News contacted the group through the email address provided on the sign, but did not immediately receive a response.
