Allegations of harassment and discrimination have been levelled at Interior Health (IH) by Kelowna’s Sikh community.

A letter sent to Premier David Eby, from the president of the Gurdwara Guru Amardas Darbar Sikh Society, says the situation involves Dr. Malvinder Hoonjan.

“We have lost confidence in Interior Health and seek your intervention in this matter immediately,” writes Surinder Singh Shergill.

He states safe and quality healthcare should include a healthy workplace culture free from toxicity and discrimination.
