OneBC leader and Vancouver‑Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie’s planned appearance outside the University of British Columbia’s Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre drew large counter‑protests Thursday and resulted in one person’s arrest, police said.
Brodie, joined by OneBC candidate Jim McMurtry and former Mount Royal University professor Frances Widdowson, arrived for what the university described as a protest event in front of the centre.
