Tourism controversies in Canadian cities lead to changes and resignations.

The CEO of Regina's tourism agency, Tim Reid, is facing calls for resignation over allegedly "sexualized" slogans that some sexual assault survivors say have left them "re-traumatized." The slogans have also garnered criticism from women's rights groups and residents outside of the protesters who view the agency's advertising as inappropriate and sexist. Reid has reportedly apologized for the slogans but did not feel that the uproar warranted his resignation. Regina Mayor Sandra Masters also faced similar backlash from local residents over the slogan controversy, according to CBC News, and similarly refused to resign. The contentious slogans have since been removed from the city's tourism webpage.
