So that’s how I found out.” Roderique tweeted a photo later that day of of a display at Hudson’s Bay for “Hudson’s Bay Charter for Change,” along with directions to scan the image for information on how to donate to empower “Indigenous peoples, Black People and People of Colour across the Country.”
