After several unsuccess- ful attempts to contact the business owner, Gerry Jutsun, she was able to get a hold of the director of opera- tions, Rob Degenaar, to ask what was going on. "I asked him why they shut it down and his answer was because they had a lack of enrollment," she said, stating her doubts. "They didn't. Georgetown is full of kids and I saw this place was full." Since then, Donaldson hasn't been able to contact anyone at Tiny Town. After the second location closed, Donaldson contacted the Ministry of Education to look into the sud- den closure of Tiny Town and how she would receive her money back. Last week, they returned her call, but didn't give her the answer she was looking for. "They can't do anything because he's a private business owner… unless he's in direct violation," she said. "All they can do is try and keep up on him, which is exactly what I've tried to do." According to an article from the Toronto Star published in May 2014, Jutsun took the province to court after government inspectors allegedly ex- ercised practices that defamed Tiny Town. According to Jutsun, inspec- tors gave Tiny Town a yellow licence, the equivalent to not working opti- mally, and called parents to tell them of the issue. Because of this, Jutsun said 80 families took their children from both Georgetown locations, causing a large decrease in revenue over the course of 10 days. Jutsun sued the government for $26 million for defamation and cur- rently, the case has not seen any de- velopment. On Oct. 13, Jutsun offi- cially launched a new case with four other daycare centres for the same thing, and is waiting for the govern- ment's decision to oppose or inves- tigate the claims. Because of the new claim and the loss of revenue, Jutsun said the two Georgetown locations had to be closed without much no- tice. "We were struggling in Septem- ber," he said. "We did try and raise more money. We needed several mil- lion more, and we were struggling since the summer. Finally, when it looked like our efforts were in vain, we then had to give notice we were closing." Jutsun said he and his team have been in contact with parents and are issuing refunds over the next couple of weeks. At the moment, Donaldson isn't interested in seeking any legal action, but wants to inform parents of the risk while dealing with Jutsun. "We just want to let people know that this is what has happened," she said. "I just want to advise people that this has happened and this is what he's like and to not go into business with him." "I'm in limbo, so I can't do much," she said. "We just want to make peo- ple aware that this has happened. There are parents that are struggling." Project Rural Impact nets plenty of charges against drivers Following public consultation with community members who reside in the northwest part of Milton, project Rural Impact was launched on Sept. 16 to target ag- gressive drivers who routinely use rural roads to commute to work. The project involved officers from 1 District patrol and the Dis- trict Response Unit whose job it is to address quality of life issues and conduct zero tolerance enforce- ment in order to make our com- munities safer. After a month of targeting this patrol area, officers reported the following enforcement statistics: • 266 Provincial Offence Notic- es were laid on drivers • One person was arrested and charged for impaired driving • Two people were arrested for driving while under a suspension • Three people were arrested and charged for "Stunt" driving (driving 50km/h or more over the posted speed limit) • Four cars were seized and held under the provisions of the Highway Traffic Act for seven days Officers from the District Re- sponse Unit will continue to focus their efforts on targeting those drivers that place themselves and other road users at risk. The unit receives many com- plaints from citizens expressing their concerns. Project Rural Im- pact will now switch to the rural areas surrounding Georgetown.
