Police say an Ontario woman who helped organize a county fair to raise money for children is now facing fraud charges related to the event.
Halton Regional Police say the charges relate to the Forget Me Not Family Fun Fair, an event held in 2013 and 2014 in Milton, Ont.
In 2018, however, Spence says concerns arose about one of the fair organizers and police allege that at least one of the charities never received the promised funds. The fun fair was organized as a show of support for the family of Maximus Huyskens, who died in June 2013 a month shy of his second birthday.
The woman then fell asleep, tired from working the previous night. Meanwhile outside temperatures climbed to 30 C while Maximus remained buckled into his car seat. Spence said Passarelli and other organizers arranged the Forget Me Not fair to raise money for the Huyskens family. The event page indicates they secured support from organizations such as Mattamy Homes and St. John's Ambulance.
