st new member chosen for police board kathleen griffin staff reporter markham resident ricky chan is the newest member of the york region police services board a provincial civilian appointee chan 39 is a director with the richmond hill and markham chinese business associa tion and replaces former member tony wong whose term expired earlier this summer im just trying to get my feet wet chan said in an interview ive had a meeting with interim chief peter scott and im digesting all the information i can before my first meeting in september chan who has an accounting back ground is a stockbroker with the toronto firm hsbc james capel canada a sub sidiary of the bank of hong kong the first thing we have to do is begin implementing the audit recommenda tions he said and everybody is talking about the chief cousineau situation but we will deal with that when the opp report actually comes chief bryan cousineau took a volun tary leave of absence in april after a provincial audit team was approached by the rank and file officers with allegations of wrongdoing against the chief that sparked an opp investigation into what they termed criminal misconduct a few months later the audit team pro duced a scathing report criticizing the management of the force chan said he was nominated for the position by the president of the chinese business association kit wong and was also approached by markham mpp dave tsubouchi the minister asked me if i would be interested and i feel as a business person living in york region i could contribute chan said chan said as one of 1 8 directors of the association he was involved in several fundraising events geared towards the purchase of a new van for the force pre sented to cousineau a few months ago wong said he had approached cou sineau before his leave about the possibil ity of chan sitting on the board and got the chiefs okay he asked if i wanted to sit on the board myself and i said no i said i would find another board member and he did think that was a good idea wong said adding chans leadership skills will serve him well in his new position some officers however are concerned the connection between cousineau and chan may be too close for comfort some of my platoon members are wor ried this is a poorlydisguised attempt to appoint procousineau people to the board said one officer but chan said besides the fundraising for the van he has no direct connection with cousineau instead of fingerpointing and saying theres some kind of wrong doing lets just deal with the opp report when it comes and lets try to be fair he said another officer const ben eng was upset with chans comments in a toronto star article which quoted chan as saying he will try to reduce stress between police and the chinese community i object to this kind of depiction eng told the tribune there has been a lot of effort over the last 15 or 20 years to build very strong bridges between chinese canadians and the police maybe mr chan should take some time to learn about those initiatives the tribune thursday august 28 1997 p 19 11 j i i j i o m j i j i i i f h e ri tage fall fair offers tun for all the whitchurchstouffville museum announces a new
