  2. Kingston––> the Brew Pub I do like both the Clocktower & Local heroes 'round here (good point though AD that Local Heroes have limited flavours but I don't see how they could ever be "too big". I tried the cajun rub last time i was there and they were quite disappointing) Toronto Life chimes in

  13. Fred Nykamp is suing the Canadian Soccer Association for allegedly offering him the job as chief executive officer and then changing its mind. Nykamp, in a statement of claim, says he left his job as CEO of Canada Basketball on May 24 and accepted the job of CEO with the soccer association the same day. But he never officially started his new job and claims he was the victim of wrongful hiring and firing. In a statement filed Oct. 10, Nykamp alleges the association negligently misrepresented itself when it offered him the job of CEO and then changed its mind. For this he is claiming $1.2 million. Should the courts turn down this claim, Nykamp is alternatively claiming $432,000 for breach of contract and wrongful dismissal. In either case, he is also seeking $100,000 in punitive damages. The CSA has told the Citizen it has no comment to make since the matter is in the hands of its lawyers. No statement of defence has been filed yet. None of these allegations has been proven in court. According to Nykamp's statement of claim, the story goes back to late 2004, when the CSA commissioned Deloitte & Touche to review how it operated. That led to a recommendation that the CSA hire a CEO with full authority over key areas of operation and that executive authority be taken away from the association's volunteer board of directors and given to the new CEO. It was also recommended that the number of directors be reduced and the board become policymakers and overseers. Nykamp says in the statement of claim that that led to the chief operating officer being fired in November last year and a board selection committee being formed to find a replacement. The selection committee interviewed him for the job on March 5 this year, says the statement of claim. Nykamp says he was told, at that time, he would have full control over decision-making. Nykamp's claim says he met the selection committee on May 11 and, among other things, was told that committee members individually and the board as a whole were ready to make fundamental changes in the way the CSA operated and to relinquish responsibility and authority to him. At the end of the meeting, according to the statement of claim, CSA president Colin Linford offered Nykamp the job on behalf of the board. The claim says a written offer was e-mailed to Nykamp on May 18 and four days later he accepted. He then resigned from Canada Basketball, where he had been CEO for three years, and on May 24 his resignation was announced. The same day the CSA held a media conference to announce Nykamp's appointment. It was agreed, Nykamp says in his claim, that he should start work on Aug. 1. In the meantime, Nykamp says, he agreed to work without pay before and during the FIFA Under-20 World Cup and to handle any pressing operational matters, if necessary. There were several, Nykamp claims in his statement of claim: l He attended the FIFA welcome dinner for the U-20 World Cup as the new CEO. l He became involved in a controversy over allegations that the national women's team was underfunded, flew to Vancouver and met with the coaching staff and the team manager to smooth it out. l When told the executive committee was considering five people for the job of technical director, which had been empty for more than a year, he said he would make the final hiring decision and asked for résumés for the five. He did not receive them. The statement of claim says Nykamp asked coach Dale Mitchell for an evaluation of the team following the Under 20 Finals. The claim says this evaluation contained finger pointing at the players for their lacklustre efforts. Nykamp then asked Mitchell for a self-evaluation but never received it. Two days before he was to officially start, a surprised Nykamp says he was told by Linford that the board had not ratified his job offer. Nykamp's claim says no one had every suggested that this was required. At that time, according to the statement of claim, Nykamp was told not to show up for work on Aug. 1 but to meet with the executive committee on Aug. 11. At that meeting, he was told the board would meet to vote on ratifying his appointment on Aug. 16. That did not happen until Aug. 26 when the board voted not to ratify the job and to fire Nykamp, who was told this by telephone three days later. He received a confirming letter on Aug. 31. The CSA has until Oct. 30 to file a notice of intent to defend.
