On November 13, 2023, protesters interrupted the Scotiabank Giller Prize ceremony by accusing the bank of funding genocide through its investment in an Israeli weapons maker, causing disruption and controversy on stage.
Scotiabank's asset management arm had approximately $500 million invested in Elbit Systems Ltd., a company involved in supplying technology and weapons used by the IDF in Gaza, leading to a walkout by some attendees and a moment of shock during the event.
