Police in Peel Region are holding a "community consultation" to discuss the force's use of street checks, also known as carding.
Street checks, the random stopping of people by police, have come under fire in recent months after allegations the practice is largely driven by racial profiling.
Last month, the province proposed new regulations that would ban street checks and carding in Ontario.
In a release, Peel police say that street checks are a valuable tool in investigations, and that they are helpful in keeping the community safe.
But Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi has called carding practices "illegitimate" and "disrespectful."
Police say Saturday's consultation in Mississauga, Ont., is in accordance with a resolution tabled by the city in June, which mandated a review of street check practices in Peel.
