VANCOUVER – Amid allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment, the RCMP brass have recently made at least one change that will please female officers — the force is now allowing women to wear pants and boots with all their formal uniforms.
It’s been almost a decade since an unnamed female officer filed a grievance because she was denied boots and pants to wear with her formal Walking Out Order, instead of a skirt and leather pumps.
“The grievor is a female member of the force with 17 years of experience,” says a file the RCMP External Review Committee provided to The Canadian Press.
That request dragged on with no resolution.
