Woman wins discrimination complaint against former landlord over smudging ceremonies

BY , Mar 3, 2020 4:33 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A landlord who accused his former tenant of smoking pot when she was actually burning sage has been ordered to pay her more than $23,000.

Crystal Smith filed a discrimination complaint against Parminder Mohan after he tried to evict her in 2017 and made derogatory comments about her Indigenous background.

The BC Human Rights Tribunal has determined the mother of two never should have been harassed for performing smudging ceremonies in her Burnaby home.

The spiritual cleansing is a cultural tradition.
