A woman who was enrolled in a prestigious scholarship program alleges that former Northwest Territories premier Stephen Kakfwi sexually harassed her while serving as her mentor.
Cherry Smiley makes the allegation in a lawsuit she filed against the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, which runs the program. Smiley is seeking $1.25 million in damages, plus costs. Kakfwi himself is not being sued.
The foundation has yet to respond to the lawsuit, first reported by Radio-Canada, which was filed in the Supreme Court
