Niagara Catholic Board Re-Elects Controversial Chair

Larry Huibers will be back for another term

Earlier this year, Huibers found himself in hot water with the board  and was temporarily banned from meetings after he took a trip to the Caribbean in January.  

Between January 3rd and January 9th, Huibers was in St. Martin conducting what he says was "essential work." Involving a vessel belonging to a sailing club he has been a part of for several years. 

 At the time, the federal government, as well as the Niagara Catholic board had advised against non-essential travel because of rising cases of COVID-19.  

An internal investigation found he violated the board's code of conduct for trustees and he was banned from board and committee meetings for six months with pay.

Also being re-elected for another term, Dan Moody the trustee for Niagara Falls will serve again as Vice Chair. 

Niagara Catholic says in each case, the vote was settled by drawing straws.
