A Halifax gym says it has removed race-based pricing after “feedback and criticism” about a discounted rate intended “to foster diversity and inclusion.”
R Studios, which has five locations in Nova Scotia, came under fire this week after posts on social media pointed out the discount. Canadian veteran Jeff Evely said on X that charging “double for white people” compared to Black and Indigenous People of Colour (BIPOC) customers was in violation of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act. Evely is also a People’s Party of Canada candidate for Sydney—Glace Bay.
