Qualicum Beach mayor apologizes, pays $130,000 for defamatory comments
Town of Qualicum BeachThe mayor of Qualicum Beach has issued an apology and will pay $130,000 to two businessmen after making defamatory statements alleging the pair burned down their own store.
Kelland Foods Holdings, which is the name of the business Schley and Briuolo own with Noel Hayward, filed a civil claim against Westbroek in May 2021 for the comments,“I retract these statements and publicly acknowledge that neither Mr. Schley nor Mr. Briuolo played any role in causing the fire,”. “It was wrong of me to have made statements to this effect, and I am remorseful for my actions.”
“I sincerely apologize to both Mr. Schley and Mr. Briuolo, both of whom I acknowledge to be successful businessmen and pillars of the community, for the very significant damage my defamatory statements have caused to their otherwise impeccable and well-deserved reputation for honesty and integrity,” Westbroek’s apology says.
