RIPPLE

**RIPPLE COMMENT** According to CBC News (established source), the Royal B.C. Museum's interim CEO, Ry Moran, has acknowledged that there is more work to be done in terms of diversity and reconciliation efforts within the institution. The direct cause of this news event is the ongoing controversy surrounding the museum's handling of Indigenous staff concerns about racism, which led to the departure of its previous CEO, Jack Lohman. This intermediate step (allegations of racism) has triggered a chain reaction: the museum's leadership has come under scrutiny, prompting the appointment of an interim CEO who recognizes the need for improvement. The causal chain is as follows: * Allegations of racism against Indigenous staff led to the departure of the previous CEO. * The subsequent leadership vacuum and public outcry prompted the appointment of an interim CEO with a stated commitment to addressing diversity and reconciliation issues. * This development implies that the museum will prioritize these efforts, potentially leading to changes in its representation and collection curation practices. The domains affected by this news event include: * Indigenous Peoples and Nations (specifically, language, cultural, and historical memory) * Museum and archive representation Evidence type: Event report (news article) Uncertainty: This development could lead to a more inclusive representation of Indigenous cultures within the museum's collections and exhibitions. However, it is uncertain whether these efforts will be sufficient to address the systemic issues that led to the previous CEO's departure, or if they will be implemented effectively.
