‘Culture of inappropriate behaviour,’ high turnover, and lateral violence contributed to ‘toxic’ workplace
Three former Liard First Nation employees say they experienced harassment — and that even after federal investigations substantiated their complaints, the workplace culture they raised concerns about remains unaddressed.
Between 2021 and 2023 former employees Tracy Nolan, Katherine Durocher, and Jesse Johnston all worked for Liard First Nation.
After leaving or being terminated, they each filed what’s called a “notice of occurrence” under federal Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations. The federal mechanism is meant to force the employer to hire an independent investigator — which in this case was the law firm West Coast Workplace Law — to carry out independent third-party investigations.
