Statement on behalf of Paul Nopper, CAO of the Town of Lunenburg, regarding Taxi By-law infraction
On the afternoon of July 16, Bylaw Enforcement identified a driver with SaltWind Transportation Service illegally operating without a taxi driver’s license in the Town of Lunenburg. This was confirmed through communication with the driver. Bylaw Enforcement noted the infraction and contacted the owner to educate on the situation and to gain compliance under the bylaw.
The owner became confrontational through the course of the discussion
with Bylaw Enforcement. Upon completion of the conversation, Bylaw Enforcement had de-escalated the situation. Shortly after, the owner came to Town Hall and was extremely confrontational with frontline staff, upon which, the owner voluntarily resigned all of his taxi licenses and left Town Hall.
The resignation of the taxi licenses was in no way prompted or encouraged by Town staff or Council and entirely voluntary on the part of the owner. At this time, SaltWind Transportation Service is no longer licensed under Lunenburg’s Taxi bylaw.
The Town of Lunenburg promotes a safe and respectful workplace for all employees and does not condone the actions that were taken against staff today.
