Moose Jaw, Sask., hotel cleaner fired
after she didn't remove pigeon's nest
A HOTEL in Moose Jaw, Sask.,
terminated one of its cleaners af-
ter another cleaner found a pigeon
nest with eggs and hatchlings on
one of its balconies.
The Temple Gardens Hotel and
Spa had experienced an ongoing
problem with pigeons nesting in
its balconies and had spent much
money and effort on keeping
them away, often to no avail.
Staff were told to ensure that
all pigeon-related messes were
to be immediately cleaned and
a re-training effort was given to
employees in April 2018.
Edmonton Safeway baker terminated
after fall causing injury not believed
AFTER a series of incidents that included a fall in
the parking lot, an incorrectly cooked batch of ba-
nana bread and various late check-ins, a baker at
an Edmonton Safeway store was fired.
Garry Neufeld had worked for Safeway for 16
years and for three years at the Westmount loca-
tion in Edmonton. During a stretch of time be-
tween October 2014 and January 2016, Neufeld
was late several times and incurred four discipline
notices, after which he was transferred to the Jas-
per Gates location on Jan. 10.
On Jan. 7, he was asked to make 60 loaves of ba-
nana bread for a special store promotion. Neufeld
baked the bread but because he used frozen eggs
instead of thawed ones, the batch had to be de-
stroyed.
On Jan. 9, Neufeld was scheduled to begin his
shift at 5:30 a.m., but he didn't show up on time.
Later that morning, baker Reynaldo Yu met
Neufeld in the changeroom. Neufeld told Yu that
