Farm Credit Canada axes Disney World trips

Farm Credit Canada axes Disney World trips

In the wake of all the bad publicity they have been getting here is a follow up to the story I posted yesterday. The article is from the Toronto Sun.

Farm Credit Canada has scrapped its employee recognition trips to Disney World and will rein in its expense account spending in the wake of the revelation the trips have cost the Crown corporation hundreds of thousands of dollars.It will also seek reimbursement of “any inappropriate expenses.”

The decisions came after QMI Agency revealed the Crown corporation set up to help keep family farms afloat has spent $591,000 over the past two years on Bravo Club and President’s Club employee recognition trips to destinations like Disney World, Atlanta and Nashville.

Farm Credit officials said last week the expense paid trips are an important part of their program for rewarding and retaining top employees.

Tuesday, however, following a request from Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz to review the corporation’s expense practices, Farm Credit’s board of directors voted for sweeping changes.

Gone are the Bravo Club and President’s Club trips. The $160,000 Bravo Club trip scheduled to depart on March 8 has been cancelled.
