VICTORIA – The troubled Kwantlen Student Association is being investigated for alleged misuse of Society funds by the BC government. These kinds of allegations have previously been investigated at the Association.
Brenda Bailey, Minister of Finance, said Friday she is initiating an investigation under the Societies Act related to the Kwantlen Student Association.
The investigation will seek to determine whether there has been any misuse of funds or other problematic conduct.
Pending the investigation, a ministerial order prohibits the Kwantlen Student Association from disposing of, dealing with or diminishing the value of any of its assets except as authorized by the order. The association may spend reasonable amounts on proper operational expenses.
These actions follow a report from the Registrar of Companies to the Minister of Finance. Action is being taken to protect the student association and its members pending the investigation.
