A Thompson Rivers University law student has filed a complaint 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Logo Guide with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal against the university, claiming it failed to accommodate his learning problems. Daniel Gallant, a reformed white supremacist and neo-Nazi who suffered an abusive childhood, became one of the university’s most recognized students when he started law school at TRU in 2014. He spoke freely about his past as a violent skinhead in media interviews and recently collaborated on the Kamloops production of Cherry Docs, a play about racial violence. But the law student said his experiences inside TRU caused him to file the complaint DAVE EAGLES/KTW against the university in DISTRACTION-FREE STUDYING September.

criminated against him based on his disabilities. He also wants “structural change so it does not happen otherwise.” Gallant said one administrator at the law school told him: “We don’t want this [disability accommodation] to be the new standard.’” A TRU spokesman said the university will not comment on Gallant’s complaint. Gallant told KTW that after he was accepted to law school at TRU, he realized he has learning disabilities related to post-traumatic stress disorder. See GALLANT, A4

Bylaw officers in Kelowna carry pepper spray, batons and handcuffs. Bylaw officers in Kamloops don’t — for now. But as the city begins a wide-ranging review of its bylaw-services department, the question of how bylaw officers should be equipped is at the forefront of the discussion. “Some of our staff are asking for it,” corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth told KTW. “They’re saying maybe we’re putting them into situations where safety is an issue and they need to protect themselves. So it’s healthy to have a look at it an consider it again.” Duckworth said Kamloops RCMP have been asking bylaw officers to take the lead on panhandling issues, breaking up transient camps and other tasks in which officer safety can be risky. During Tuesday’s council meeting, Duckworth passed around a pair of weapons confiscated from camps, including a homemade blade created out of an old kitchen knife and electrical tape. “We patrol riverbanks, we take down homeless shelters, we deal with transient people, panhandlers in the downtown core. “Those people can be suffering from addictions issues, from mental-health issues, and a lot of them that do live on the streets have their own self-protection,” he said.
