The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has found that the province’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) discriminated against an Indigenous woman during a recruitment process.
The tribunal concluded that stereotypes related to the worker’s race and sex influenced the IIO’s decision to rescind a job offer.
The worker, who was of Métis background, applied for a position as an investigator with the IIO, an independent oversight body that investigates serious incidents involving police agencies.
