Swift Current Business Faces Major Charges | Vancouver News

Description

Swift Current’s Husky Travel Centre and its owner face eight charges each for allegedly forcing foreign workers to pay fees just to get a job — a scheme spanning nearly two years, from 2023 to 2025. The owner appears in court this week, facing penalties under new, tougher provincial laws aimed at protecting vulnerable workers. This follows a similar case in Moose Jaw, where a restaurant admitted guilt and paid restitution — signaling a province-wide crackdown on exploitation.
