Burnstick Found Guilty in Human Rights Case | Canada News
Description
A Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that former Alexander First Nation chief Kurt Burnstick sexually harassed former employee Kim Arcand, finding his behavior — including unwanted physical contact and inappropriate invitations — constituted sexual harassment under the law. Though Burnstick was acquitted in a criminal trial in 2017, the tribunal, using a lower standard of proof, upheld the finding based on credible testimony and documentary evidence. Arcand, who already settled with the First Nation, won’t receive additional compensation, but is relieved by the ruling. Burnstick plans to run again in the upcoming election, and his legal team remains silent as he prepares for an appeal.
