Overseas Training Nixed for Pension Board Trustees

As we told you earlier this week, Councillor Bill Farren taking a strong stand against pension trustees being sent for training in far-flung locations like Las Vegas and Hawaii. Farren motioning to council Monday night that spending be reigned in by limiting trips within Canada.

Councillor Gary Sullivan weighing in on his hopes on the issue in light of the massive pension deficit, saying if it's a choice between Hawaii and PEI, he hopes trustees will choose Anne of Green Gables.

In the end, all members of council except Councillor Court voted in favour of keeping the trustees closer to home going forward.
