Former Canucks staffer Rachel Doerrie alleges team, assistant GM discriminated against her physical and mental disabilities
Former Vancouver Canucks coaching staff member Rachel Doerrie filed a complaint with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal last week, alleging she was discriminated by the team – and specifically assistant general manager Emilie Castonguay – for her mental and physical disabilities.
The Canucks issued a pair of statements on Sunday night saying they “strongly disagree” with the allegations brought forth by Doerrie.Doerrie was hired by the Canucks on Jan. 20 as an analyst. She was then promoted to the coaching staff in the role of analyst and assistant to the video coach on Aug. 1, the first woman hired as part of the team’s coaching staff.
When speaking to Doerrie about sharing a social media post highlighting her promotion to the coaching staff, Doerrie alleged that Castonguay said to her: “You’re not important enough to be cared about.”Castonguay was personally named as a respondent to the complaint; it says, “because of the central role she played in Ms. Doerrie’s employment” and is “responsible for the discriminatory treatment of Ms. Doerrie.
The Canucks ultimately terminated Doerrie on Sept. 27 without cause, Doerrie saying that the Canucks told her it was for “speaking to the media about her promotion.” Doerrie claims coach Bruce Boudreau broke the news to a reporter at a team event eight days earlier.
