An Indigenous father and daughter in British Columbia are accusing Canadian Tire and its third-party security company of racial profiling and racism after they say he was singled out at a store in Coquitlam and an employee responded with a racist comment.
Wilson, a member of the Heiltsuk Nation, says when she raised what happened with one of the store’s mechanics, instead of taking the incident seriously, he responded with a racist anecdote. “It simply should not happen. The associate dealer who owns the store has been actively at the table, co-operating with the tribunal since the claim was filed,” the statement says.
“It’s on multiple levels, and it starts with the head office, it goes down to the franchise and down to the third-party companies that they hire. And if they can’t recognize when racism is happening, how on earth are they combatting it and making sure it doesn’t happen again?”Heiltsuk elected chief Marilyn Slett said in a statement that Canadian Tire has been unwilling to meaningfully engage in resolution efforts ever since.
