City of Leduc deputy fire chief resigns
Global News
Leduc deputy fire chief Broderick Moore will leave his job at the end of March, at a time when more people who've worked for the city are coming forward to share their experiences.
A year after harrowing allegations facing the City of Leduc were first reported by Global News, another employee is leaving.
The city’s deputy fire chief is stepping down, nearly one year after Leduc fire Chief George Clancy resigned.
Deputy fire chief Broderick Moore will leave his job at the end of March, according to an undated resignation letter obtained by Global News.
He is the latest employee to exit the City of Leduc since a class-action lawsuit was filed against it.
“We’ve seen the departure of fire chief, two deputy chiefs — including Moore this week — and two firefighters,” Robert Martz, the Calgary-based lawyer representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said on Tuesday.
The lawsuit includes allegations of sexual assault, harassment, discrimination and bullying. None has been proven in court.
An external investigation concluded the Leduc fire department has a “psychologically unsafe and harmful culture.”
While Moore is not accused of sexual assault, harassment or bullying, he is mentioned in the report.
