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.

The extent to which the pandemic has reshaped working life is immeasurable from essential workers navigating public spaces, to office workers operating from makeshift home offices, to healthcare workers managing the frontlines.
Amid the unprecedented challenges, rideshare drivers have found themselves in the unique position of balancing personal (and passenger) safety with providing a vital service. Throughout the last 10 months, drivers have continued to help communities stay mobile and connect with essential services and goods.
Popular transportation networking company, Lyft, has taken this time to prioritize social outreach, working to care for drivers and implement initiatives to support them and the community throughout the crisis. They’ve also partnered with Herschel Supply to say thank you to members of the driver community.
