GUELPH, Ont. — A couple from Guelph, Ont., is livid with the city after a lifeguard told their eight-year-old daughter to cover up at a wading pool at a public park over the weekend.
Cory McLean says the lifeguard explained it was against the rules for girls to go topless in city pools.
McLean says his daughter was embarrassed and felt ashamed afterward and put a top on so she could continue playing.
He says this is a sexist rule that leads to body shaming.
He wants to see the rules changed to promote equality.
The city could not immediately be reached for comment.
