@BCFerries My wife is on this vessel and it is currently stopped dead in the middle of the straight. Can you share what exactly the issue is?

@jeromedickey Wow... I missed that. That's definitely another angle to this story.

How did relatives of CEO George Duncan (ie. Lucas Duncan) also end up on this $77,000+ trip paid for by Richmond taxpayers? #richmondbc #richmondolympicoval #cityofrichmond

A taxpayer-funded trip to Europe by Richmond Olympic Oval delegates is not the only issue currently being scrutinized at the City of Richmond - there are more controversial issues under the microscope, including a criminal investigation. globalnews.ca/news/11261614/…

WOWZA!

#exclusive stunning incident. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie grabs our camera and pushes it to ground after refusing questions about a secret junket we exposed on Monday. We’ll have video of the confrontation tonight at 6 @GlobalBC @jarmstrongbc @richardzussman @keithbaldrey

@TheRichmondNews @TheRichmondNews??? I assume this was discussed in-camera, and then leaked by someone. Can you confirm or deny? If true, is it right for a matter like this to be discussed in-camera? Why not in a transparent matter? #RichmondBC
English
@TheRichmondNews I am confused. The headline reads the "City of Richmond launches forensic audit into Olympic Oval" yet the article states, "The city did not confirm or deny the audit". Can you explain @TheRichmondNews?

It pains me to say, but if the best team deserves to win, it's the Panthers by a long shot. #EDMvsFLA

Amalgamation anyone?

NEW: Today’s @MetroVancouver meeting - with cost savings on the agenda - cost taxpayers more than 20-thousand dollars. (39 directors x $534 stipend each = $20,826) Nothing decided - except that there will be more meetings. More @GlobalBC at 5 & 6. @CUrquhartGlobal #bcpoli

Looking great! The @richmondchamber 100 anniversary edition membership directory, lots more to come this centennial year!

@Gillanders_L @WestcoastWood @TheRichmondNews It's great to see renewed scrutiny on this issue with fresh eyes... And renewed enthusiasm from old #Richmondbc news tellers (hacks) like @WestcoastWood ;)
English
@WestcoastWood @MPitcairn @TheRichmondNews I recall being in the audience as Councillor Carol Day as well as McNulty and Steves questioned the Oval including ROX as the majority of council balked at her calls for transparency.

'Big shakeup' at Richmond Olympic venue after CEO's $403K salary revealed richmond-news.com/local-news/big… via @TheRichmondNews
English
@WestcoastWood @TheRichmondNews Thanks GW. Any financial insights into the ROX equipment purchases from the private company to which George was a director of?
English
@MPitcairn @TheRichmondNews I *recall* writing circa 14'-16' how Duncan's salary rivalled CoV manager, so I *think* it amounted to some tens of thousands of dollars if I'm guessing - I don't think it was too significant.
English
@WestcoastWood "In 2014, the Oval, a subsidiary of the city, created a subsidiary company of its own called VROX Sport Simulation Ltd., a Victoria-based company, which is 50 per cent owned by the Oval. It has five directors, four of whom are Oval executives, including Duncan." 2/2
English
@WestcoastWood So in addition to being the City's CAO, the Ovals CEO, GD was also the director of a private company, which sold technology to the Oval?! 1/2

Ive confirmed #RichmondBC Oval CEO George Duncan’s annual base salary in 2023 was $345,777 and total remuneration was $403,000+$12K expenses in 2023. He left Oval in June. Im informed by a city official there may special severance yet reported. Im digging, more to come.

Former city manager George Duncan earned $345,777 in 2023 as the CEO of the #RichmondBC Olympic Oval Corporation …dont let the name fool you. This is just a big community centre completely backed by taxpayers. richmond-news.com/local-news/for… via @TheRichmondNews
English
@stevestonnotri1 @WestcoastWood @TheRichmondNews I suspect he was pre 2022 but I don't have any data to back this up. Maybe the News can assist with this query?
English
@MPitcairn @WestcoastWood @TheRichmondNews Wasn't he double dipping as well? CEO of the Richmond Olympic Oval - and drawing a salary as the city's CAO before he retired from the city in 2022.

@WestcoastWood @TheRichmondNews @theBreakerNews For a number of years, GD was CoR CAO and Oval CEO. Was he getting two full salaries for these roles, at the same time?
English
@MPitcairn @TheRichmondNews Can any amount of work justify that salary? Per @theBreakerNews : Ken Cretney led B.C. Pavilion Corp. (PavCo), the manager of B.C. Place Stadium and Vancouver Convention Centre, to a $3.5 million deficit on $169.24 million in revenues. Cretney’s total compensation was $418,675.
