FORMER WE CHARITY CHAIR TO TESTIFY

The former chair of WE Charity’s Canadian board of directors says she resigned from her position after “concerning developments” at the organization – and that her exit was not part of a routine process.

Michelle Douglas’s comments come after the charity said its board turnover earlier this year was part of a long-planned change, stemming from a 2019 review.

“My resignation as the chair of the board of directors of WE charity was as a result of concerning developments,” Ms. Douglas told The Globe and Mail Sunday.

“I did not resign in the ordinary course of matters.”
