A class action lawsuit against the RCMP will soon be filed, according to Thunder Bay lawyer Sandy Zaitzeff.
The lawsuit began when a female officer from Vancouver quit her job on the force, and spoke out about on-the-job harassment she said she faced during her time with the RCMP.
While the woman was from Vancouver, Zaitzeff says the problem is nation-wide.
“It is a male-dominated, paramilitary culture almost based upon fear, it is detachment after detachment and the results are horrible things that ruin lives … from Newfound Land to British Columbia,” he told CKPR Radio.
More than 115 alleged victims have since come forward, including one woman from Thunder Bay.
Zaitzeff said the case should be filed sometime this week.
