  • CP investigation into allegations of toxic workplace at CSIS

On Thursday morning, The Canadian Press will publish an investigation into allegations of rape, harassment and a toxic workplace culture in the British Columbia office of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. 

The investigation, by reporter Darryl Greer, includes interviews with two covert officers who say they were sexually assaulted by a senior colleague while on duty, and two other officers who support their claims. The story provides a rare look inside Canada's spy agency.

The package consists of a main story CSIS-Toxic-Culture at 3,900 words that is easily abridged to approximately 1,300 words.

There is also a 500-word sidebar CSIS-Toxic-Culture-Sidebar about the challenges faced by the women in speaking out, including a law against identifying themselves or others as covert officers..

The stories are accompanied by a package of photographs, video and audio.
