Protesters gather as One B.C. uses Kelowna-owned venue to host meeting
About 100 attended inside while 40 to 50 protesters gathered outside, and One B.C. paid $1,087.82 to rent the city venue, records show.
- On Sunday, June 14, MLA and One B.C. leader Dallas Brodie spoke to about 100 attendees at the Parkinson Recreation Centre's Apple Room, focusing on Indigenous issues and Aboriginal title.
- Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas stated the rental decision was not "at his level," emphasizing that city facility use does not constitute endorsement of any group's platform, unlike Kamloops's security cost demands.
- Around 40 to 50 protesters gathered outside the PRC, with Candace Banks of the Kelowna Pride Society arguing that platforming Brodie emboldens "hateful rhetoric" against Indigenous and queer communities.
- Brodie defended the event, asserting that municipalities should not control venue access based on political preferences, despite criticism regarding her stance on the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
- Statistics Canada reports police-reported hate crimes in B.C. rose from 517 last year to 667 this year, a trend critics argue underscores the significance of the city's role in booking controversial speakers.
