A former employee of the Surrey Food Bank is speaking out, saying management has done nothing to protect female staff after she was sexually harassed, and then assaulted by a male co-worker in the fall.
Janica Izzard began volunteering with the non-profit in December 2019, before being hired on honorarium as its senior registration clerk. She says she was subjected to unwanted advances from her very first shift.
