(CTV) A Winnipeg family is looking to raise awareness about burkinis after an incident at a Manitoba water park.
Halima Jelloul, her husband and two daughters were excited to take a trip to Lilac Resort on Friday.
Minutes after arriving, they were told they couldn’t enter the pool because of what they were wearing.
“About 10-15 minutes, the owner approached us and said that due to the burkini me and my daughter were wearing we aren’t allowed on the waterslide,” said Jelloul.
“I was very uncomfortable, obviously. I wasn’t shocked it happened,” said Jelloul’s 14-year-old daughter Salma Douida.
