Public money went towards the construction of this facility and its programming. The idea that some members of the public be excluded from using it is inacceptable and shows why these kinds of funding arrangements should never be used.
I'm deeply concerned by reports that Youth for Christ Winnipeg excluded 2SLGBTQ youth from accessing its facilities and prevented staff & volunteers from openly identifying as 2SLGBTQ.
I've asked Carla Qualtrough, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, to investigate whether YFC violated its Canada Summer Jobs program attestation.
