Former executive director, two sons who reported to her allegedly received unauthorized raises, gave contracts to other family members
A Windsor, Ont. non-profit organization that operates public and co-operative housing is accusing its former executive director and her two sons of financial misconduct totalling $3 million, in a case that raises sharp questions about governance, conflicts of interest and internal controls in small organizations.
The Labour Sponsored Community Development Group (LSCDG), which is involved in administering community housing in Windsor-Essex, has launched legal action alleging that its former executive director, Anna Angelidis, and two administrators who reported to her – her sons Jim and Danny – mishandled public housing funds over several years, CBC News reported.
The trio was dismissed at an emergency board meeting in October 2024, when directors voted unanimously to terminate all three family members from their roles, according to CBC News. Angelidis and her sons then launched a wrongful dismissal suit claiming $735,000 in damages. LSCDG responded with the counterclaim a few months later.
Court documents indicate the organization is seeking to recover millions it says should have been used for housing operations and repairs. The allegations have not been tested in court, and the former employees have not yet filed a response to the claims.
