Settlement reached between Bell Media, ex-CP24 personality in human rights complaint

A well-known Toronto television personality says she's reached a settlement with Bell Media in response to a human rights complaint, in which she alleged "a systemic pattern" of racism, sexism and discrimination. Patricia Jaggernauth, a CP24 co-host, reporter and weather specialist, filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission in October 2022, after 11 years with the company. She alleged she had been "treated as a token and a commodity" and felt obligated to put her job ahead of her mental health, despite being passed over for promotions and earning less than a living wage. Bell Media "vigorously" denied the allegations in its April 2023 response to the commission. In past statements, it told CBC that it takes allegations seriously and "is committed to a safe, inclusive, and respectful work environment where employees can thrive." On Thursday, Jaggernauth posted to social media saying the matter had been resolved to both parties' "mutual satisfaction." A Bell Media spokesperson shared the same statement with CBC News, saying "there will be no further public comments about it." CBC Toronto has reached out to Jaggernauth and her lawyer, Kathryn Marshall.
