Toronto group dubs major bank executive Canada's Villan of the Year Toronto RBC
A group of activists representing a handful of organizations took to the streets with a display outside of the Ivey Business School's presentation to RBC CEO Dave McKay with the 'Business Leader of the Year Award' in an attempt to disrupt the corporate event hosted at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto.
In place of the honour bestowed on McKay by the corporate elite, the activists from the University of Toronto, Banking on a Better Future, Climate Justice TO, and Stand.Earth awarded the executive a very different honour, dubbing the 58-year-old executive as 'Climate Villain of the Year Award.' Activists in Toronto named RBC CEO Dave McKay Canada’s Villain of the Year for funding climate change and destruction of indigenous lands.
