'Refuse to be complicit': UBCO students call for end of RBC campus contract
A group of UBC Okanagan students called RBC Off Campus protested on March 20, seeking to end the Royal Bank of Canada's contract with the UBCO Student Union, which ends in 2026, aiming for a more ethical banking option.
RBC Off Campus joined 13 other university groups to demand student unions divest from banks involved in the fossil fuel industry, promoting awareness about banks funding these projects.
Student Erin Delfs claimed that major banks are complicit in climate chaos and disrespect Indigenous rights through their financing of fossil fuel projects while calling for action against these banks.
