An Indigenous father and daughter in British Columbia are accusing Canadian Tire and its third -party security company of racial profiling and racism.

Dawn Wilson is speaking publicly about the human rights complaint she and her father, Richard Wilson , filed after years of trying to settle the dispute herself.

The complaint alleges that on Jan. 17, 2020 , the pair purchased new tires for installation and shopped in-store while they waited.

At the checkout, Wilson says a guard with the company Blackbird Security asked to search her father’s backpack.
