Your wheels, their meals: More stewardship expenses
Ontario Tire Stewardship documents reveal spending on booze, meals and hotel stays by the provincially mandated organization funded by consumer recycling fees. The Star obtained partial credit card statements of executive director Andrew Horsman for 16 individual months over a five-year period. His card is used for many stewardship expenses. Yorkville Classic: $646.36 for a February 2012 meal for eight people at Bistro 990, including oysters, crème brûlée, Guinness, Jack Daniels, gin martinis and cabernet sauvignon. Power Smoothies: Four individual Booster Juice drinks in the city’s west end, ranging from $7.18 to $9.72. Downtown Christmas: $2,000 holiday dinner celebrated at Le Germain Hotel in Toronto’s Maple Leaf Square. Christmas dinner is an annual event for executives and board members.
