welcome to shop in the store.

Desiree McIvor and her partner were out shopping on Monday afternoon and stopped at the Michaels store on Regent Avenue West.
“We
weren’t even in the door for about five seconds and this lady
approached us and I thought it was going to be the usual ‘Hey, do you
need any help or assistance?’” said McIvor, a member of Sagkeeng First
Nation.
“She said, ‘Well, you’re not welcome here and you guys have to leave.’”
“I was in complete shock, I couldn’t believe what she said.”
