The provincial government is looking into video that shows sexual acts recorded at a Milton, Ont. construction site, as the developer of the property says it’s also reviewing what it calls “grossly inappropriate and reckless behaviour.”

The video, recorded a week ago at a Milton construction site, shows several construction workers dancing with a woman in what appears to be a home under construction. One appears to perform a sex act with a young woman.

The gathering was a retirement party — but it got at least six people fired, with the construction industry aghast at what appear to be multiple safety violations, including people without safety gear on an active site, as well as creating a dangerous place for COVID-19 to spread.

“There’s not much in the video I don’t have a problem with,” said Andrew Pariser of RESCON, an association of residential builders. “No one in the video had any kind of mask on. They weren’t social distancing.”

Pariser’s colleague, Amina Dibe, told CTV News Toronto that what happened sends an awful message to women in the industry.

“It’s completely unacceptable and it reinforces stereotypes about construction being male-dominated and macho, which we’ve been actively trying to break down,” she said.

Valerie Scott, with Sex Professionals of Canada, said what she saw in the video is part of the job of a sex worker — but she was concerned that there was no personal protective equipment being worn and that the woman’s face would be spread over social media.
