Folk Arts council rebuilds after member theft in Medicine Hat
Louise Bernal, president of the Medicine Hat Multicultural Folk Arts Council, says trust remains the bond holding the group together after a member stole over 41,000 from the Folk Arts Council and 58,000 from the Zirka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble between 1988 and 1994. Eugenia Richardson, 52, pleaded guilty and began a 15 month term in jail. Police advise broader financial oversight to prevent future thefts while the group vows to proceed more cautiously without mistrusting all members.
