Sunnybrook hospital parts ways with worker filmed using racist language

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto says the employee no longer works there, after an investigation into a video that circulated on social media.

Footage filmed on a Toronto subway showed a person in a Sunnybrook sweater being confronted by riders after using derogatory language against Black people.

The hospital says it recognizes the harm the incident caused, especially for its Black staff, patients and supporters, and that the behaviour is inconsistent with its values.
