Syilx Nation pushes back on OneBC event in Kelowna
Local Indigenous and community groups say Dallas Brodie’s views on residential schools harm Survivors and are planning peaceful protests outside the venue.
- On Sunday, June 14, Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie plans to hold an OneBC town hall at the Parkinson Recreation Centre, drawing opposition from the Syilx Okanagan Nation, which said it is "outraged" by the event.
- The Syilx Okanagan Nation stated that Brodie's positions on Indian Residential Schools amount to denialism, causing significant harm to Survivors and Elders across British Columbia.
- Criticism from the Kelowna Pride Society prompted the City to clarify that rental approval does not constitute endorsement of any group's platform; the Pride Society plans a peaceful protest on Sunday.
- Scheduled for the same day as the final day of the 4th Annual Komasket Powwow, the town hall has drawn scrutiny; Chief Clarence Louie stated that attempts to diminish residential school history are "unacceptable."
- Part of the OneBC Backbone of BC Tour, the agenda includes the OneBC platform and UNDRIP; Brodie has raised doubts about evidence of children's graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
