Leduc firefighter resigns in scathing speech in front of city council
heir superiors during that time, Smith told Global News she was never aware of the allegations.In 2021, Leduc city administration commissioned a third party report into the allegations. That was delivered in its entirety to the city in January but still has not been made available to city council.Smith believes the taxpayer funded report should go to council as it contains recommendations for improving Leduc Fire Services and preventing similar allegations from ever happening.
The letter obtained by Global News prior to distribution states, “If sexual impropriety or abuse can have even the possibility of arising in such a reputable organization, it can clearly happen anywhere.” MacKenzie urged any and all organizations to double-check their own policies, processes and their physical environment to eliminate all possibility of abuse.
Young admitted city council has not received the third-party report but said administration has updated council multiple times on the situation.“I don’t think the report is important for for council. I think at the end of the day, I want… we have to do better.”In an email to Global News, a spokesperson wrote “disciplinary action that balances an appropriate penalty against the level of misconduct has taken place.
When asked how that review would differ from the unreleased report, the spokesperson said the report was to deal with specific allegations while the new review would look at the organization as a whole.
