‘Concerning’ community club hasn’t opened books: councillor
3 minute read Thursday, Jun. 6, 2024A Winnipeg community centre has not committed to opening its books more than a month after the city councillor for the area asked its board to consider an independent audit.
A letter from Coun. Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River) sent April 24 requests the South Winnipeg Community Centre board consider an audit of its Silverstone Avenue arena among “growing whispers and rumblings regarding potential irregularities in financial disclosure to the board and possible human resource issues leading to operational inefficiencies and resulting in multiple union grievances.”
The community centre responded by putting its general manager, Paramjit Shahi, on administrative leave, accusing him of failing to report “significant operational concerns” to the board before he resigned May 13.
Masroor Khan, the president of community centre’s volunteer-based board, said the committee has not decided on an independent audit, but conversations are ongoing.
