Jeez, you Westerners are awful nosy, aren't ya?
The thing that gets me, Tony, is that except for a small handful of people there is no outrage here. Nobody seems to give a damn, as clearly demonstrated by successive generations of do-nothing OCA executives. And the biggest do-nothing exec is the one who promised a full scale report for the OCA's 2009 AGM: Eric Van Dusen. We're talking about 120 freaking grand!!. If the OCA could save up all of its dues every year it would take almost 20 years to accumulate this amount. And yet only a small number of people are even interested.
And what about the Trillium Foundation? Does it seem likely that they would approve a grant that was going to,
From the Trillium Foundation's website:
Ontario Chess Association Inc.
$120,000 over two years to pilot an integrated chess program in York Region, which will provide children and youth with an alternative recreational experience and build their critical thinking and tactical skills.
if they thought that more than 75% of the grant was going to be paid out in salaries & wages, allegedly to just one person?
Unbelievable! Get up on your hind legs, Chris Mallon, and do something right.
