With the way our economy is this just seems a bit excessive.
In March 2009, Farm Credit Canada president Greg Stewart and his wife boarded a plane to Disney World for five expense-paid days with the Crown corporation’s Bravo Club.Their family remained in Regina, the $300 childcare tab paid for by Farm Credit.
By the time the bills were in, the 2009 Bravo Club employee recognition trip to Disney World cost Farm Credit $160,000 — about $5,700 a person for 14 lucky employees and their spouses.
During the past two years, Bravo Club trips to Disney World and the Presidents Club employee recognition trips to other U.S. destinations like Nashville and Atlanta have cost Farm Credit $591,000.
Next Monday, they will do it all again. The one difference this year is Stewart and executive Greg Honey’s wives won’t be participating in the $160,000 trip — although other employees will still get to bring their spouses.
A QMI Agency analysis of more than 3,500 pages of Farm Credit Canada’s travel and hospitality expenses reveals spending many Canadian farmers can only dream about.
Seasons and playoff tickets for the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team. Another $5,125 in membership and fees for Stewart at Regina’s exclusive Wascana Country Club. Stewart, who plays golf but only uses the membership a couple of times a year, has just decided to cancel it.
Executive-class flights across the country, and hotel rooms that sometimes run more than $400 a night. Team building and management dinners washed down by bottles of cabernet, chardonnay and Crown Royal.
