Cedar Valley Golf Club told to ban member who is a sex offender

0

On or around January 9th 2019, the Board of Directors of the Cedar Valley Golf Club Limited received recommendations from the Minister of Sports Hon. Daryll Matthew relating to the  continued presence at the Cedar Valley Golf Club of an individual who has been convicted of  Indecent Assault on a 13 year old girl.

 

Given that there is no automatic right to membership, the Board was asked to consider the  institution of a ban on the membership, use, or presence of the convicted individual at the  Cedar Valley Golf Club Limited.

 

The premise for this directive was based on the individual in  question being convicted in a court of law for a crime of a sexual nature against a minor, and  the development of a vibrant youth program at the Cedar Valley Golf Club Limited.

 

Between April 2019 and March 2021, the individual has not been present at the Cedar Valley  Golf Club Limited.

 

In April of 2021, the individual reemerged, and through an administrative oversight, commenced using the facilities once again.

 

The Board of Directors and Management of the Cedar Valley Golf Club Limited is committed  to ensuring that a wholesome and safe environment exists for all users of the Golf Course,  especially the children who are part of our Youth Program.

 

The Board of Directors and  Management respect the values and ethical standards expected by our partners…values that  we share.

 

The Board of Directors and Management apologizes to the Members of the Cedar Valley Golf  Club Limited, and the parents who have entrusted their children to our care at the facility.

 

The Board of Directors and Management wishes to assure the public that this vexing matter  is being addressed.
