A member of the city of Ottawa's board of health is speaking out about body shaming after receiving a letter that said she shouldn't serve on the board because of her weight.
Speaking to CTV News Ottawa, Banham said it was the first physical letter she's ever received in her four years on the board of health.
Banham says the letter came after her photo was used in an Ottawa Citizen article in which she is quoted talking about diversity on city committees and boards. She said she shared the message in part because women in professional settings often deal with messages about how they look. Bay ward Coun. Theresa Kavanagh, who is the council liaison for women and gender equity, told CTV News these kinds of messages are disheartening.
