URegina Women’s Centre annual general meeting ends abruptly due to disruptive audience

News

The University of Regina Women’s Centre ended its annual general meeting abruptly after several audience members became disruptive. Regina Leader-Post reports that an estimated 100 individuals—most of whom the centre’s board of directors said registered that day—attended the meeting. After the meeting began, several attendees reportedly became disruptive, including by filming and interrupting the Indigenous Knowledge Keeper. One person continually disrupted Board Chair Debra Schubert’s introduction, and after the disruptive individual refused to leave, Schubert adjourned the meeting. Schubert told 650 CKOM that a security guard was also assaulted. According to the Leader-Post, the Women’s Center’s executive director and staff were expecting some “contention” based on some recent experiences.
