BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres calls on hotel chain to publicly apologize, acknowledge the mistreatment and educate staff
Because the hotel didn’t acknowledge the incident as racist, apologize, or promise to educate staff, the group had no choice but to try to find alternative venues, she said.
After a dinner outside the hotel on Feb. 24, the cultural adviser, who was not named and was described only as being a man in his 40s, was returning to his room at the hotel to sleep. There were other people in the area who witnessed the incident and “our cultural adviser was very devastated and very traumatized,” Varley said.
Gosselin added: “Just last year, all hotel leaders completed the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation certification course through the Indigenous University of Canada and the course was made available to all hotel colleagues.” She said her association’s actions were not about one hotel employee’s actions, but about a lack of awareness of what constitutes racism by the corporation.
