PARKDALE INTERCULTURAL ASSOCIATION

A WASTE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING.

CHARGES LEVIED AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT FUNDED ORGANIZATION
FOR CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF POWER.

THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD NO LONGER BE FUNDED, BY THE
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT'S, CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION AND
ALSO BY THE CITY OF TORONTO, AS WELL AS OTHER PRIVATE SPONSORS.


What They Say And What They Do Are Two Different Things.

Abusive and Incompetent staff, who cover up their wrong doings, in clever ways. By lying about it and by blaming the clients, who use the centre. 
 
Who ridicules and also mocked some of the clients.
Who uses mentally disabled clients, to occupy the computers all day.
Who also condoned violence at the Centre, against clients, by other clients and who themselves
also implicated in those actions.
Who has also been blamed, for being racist, to some of the clients.
Who spends their time, chatting, in each other's office, instead of working.
Who lies openly about their actions, when confronted about it, to save their jobs. (Which are not worth saving).
Who has no clue how to deal, with different members, of the community, let alone to effectively run the programs at the centre.
Who has also been accused, of serious breach of privacy, regarding the clients' personal information.
The list goes on. But what it indicates, in general, is corruption and also breach of public trust.


There are many organizations like this one in Canada, which also recieve public and private funding and which has not shown, that it is also deserving of such funding. Worst for this organization, in particular, is the real casuse for concern, regarding this agency, which is the lack of competence, on the part of the staff, as well as the lack of integrity, in the personal characters, of those staff, who also run the agency, on a daily basis, beginning with its director, Michael Nguyen and also its managers, Marek Kurek, Tsering Norzom Thonsur, especially, as well as other staff at that facility, Tsering Choedon Arya and Lin Tong, who are settlement workers and who are all fairly new immigrants to the county, themselves and has no real knowledge of Canadian society, as well as the Canadian law.

In short, this also does not benefit the clients, who use the centre, which is also located in an area, Parkdale, which has a large and diversified community, made up of different groups of people.
Therefore, when situations comes up, they also do not know how to address it.  And in other circumstances, they have also created for themselves, they also cover up for each other, in those situations. We are talking about lying, abusive behaviour towards the clients, who has used the centre and a host of other inappropriate behaviours.  None of which also seem to get to the attention, of the Board of Directors, for this organization, either. Because true to the way the organization is run, it  gets covered up, at the bottom and all the way up to the director, Michael Nguyen.

The Parkdale Intercultural Association, actually has two separate locations, in the same area, of Parkdale, which many people thinks are also unnecessary.  The centre with the most problems, is located at the 1257 Queen Street West, location in Toronto. That is where the complaints about staff's misconduct, are coming from the most. The managers at that location, Marek Kurek and Tsering Norzom Thonsur, are also known to act unprofessionally and hasn't got a clue about how to manage the centre.

Some have even shown their true characters in the ways that many people will also find to be quite shocking, as well as unprofessional, regarding the way, that they also go about managing the centre.  Abusing clients and lying to cover up their actions. At the top of the list, are the following staff: Marek Kurek, Tsering Norzom Thonsur, Lin Tong, Tsering Choedon Arya and a few others. After those complaints, about the staff, at the Parkdale Intercultural Association, began coming out, the director, Michael Nyguyen, also promised that he would also be recommending, that those staff, get further training.
Despite what the director, Michael Nyguyen has also said, it has never happened and the unprofessionalism and corruption, involved wih their actions, has also continued to the present.

From time to time, I like to expose those organizations and the people within it, who have wasted the tax payer's money and also continue to exist, much to the detriment of society. This is also one such organization.  The Parkdale Intecultural Association, should no longer be allowed to continue, with its present staff, or to continue to receive public funding, for doing a lousy job.  The public demands that the staff, be professional and to know what they are doing, which is not the case with this organization.  Personally, I think that the staff, should also be fired. Certainly there are other more qualified people to fill those jobs, left vacant when the current staff is fired, which they also deserved to be.  It may also want to consider having a staff, who also better reflect the community.  In other words, the staff should also be more diversified. Since so many different kinds of people would also like to use this centre. It is a pity that they also have to receive substandard service, because of the current staff, and the board should also take those complaints, about them seriously enough, to make the changes, that are also neccessary, in this case.
