PLEASE NOTE:

Rally against Peter and Mercedes

CKLN's OFFICES are CLOSED indefinitely because Peter Toh (show: Africa United) & Mercedes Otway (show: West Indian Flames) have ILLEGALLY changed the locks of all of the office doors at ckln. They did this WITHOUT receiving consent of, or support of the Board of Directors of CKLN. They did they of their own volition, without even conferring with ckln's station manager, Sam Shnapps also. This is FRAUD!!These actions are preventing Staff from doing their jobs & Volunteers from doing preparation for their shows. The staff can not even get into their offices to get their personal belongings. Peter Toh now is the ONLY person with keys to CKLN. Who gave him authority to do this? Who is going to pay for the cost of these locks being changed?


In the process of changing the locks last Friday, Peter Toh also physically assaulted a ckln volunteer who was on the phone at the time with the station manager. This volunteer is pressing assault charges against Peter Toh because of his actions. Earlier that day, he also was heard threatening to shoot the station manager. These two board members are also refusing to pay the Staff. So the Staff have been without pay for a number of weeks now. They have tried to come to work inspite of this, but have been continually harassed when doing so, and thus have given up. Mercedes and Peter are now insisting they have the authority to FIRE Staff and KICK PEOPLE OFF THE AIR as they want. Even if Mercedes was legally the Chair of the B.O.D. (which she is not), according to ckln's legal By-Laws

posted on our website; "By Law 39, Duties Of Officers", these are her powers: (a) The Chair shall: (cc) preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors. AND, (b) See that all orders and resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect. Nowhere does it state she can act without the consent of the majority consent of the B.O.D. which she has done. She is perpetuating a FRAUD against CKLN.

Mercedes Otway is supposed to our Volunteer B.O.D. representative - how does these actions support the best interests of volunteers at ckln?Mercedes Otway is supposed to our Volunteer B.O.D. representative - how does these actions support the best interests of volunteers at ckln?

Please email Mercedes at westindianflames@yahoo.com and voice your concerns. Our other Volunteer Representative is Paulette Hamilton who does not agree with these actions Peter & Mercedes have been taking and is being harassed by them for doing so. Please email her at baglady91971@gmail.com with any questions.
