Toronto Campus Closure

Landlords are not pushovers.  After the eviction, next step would be lawsuit for damages caused, opportunity cost, and rental income losses until the presmises can be rented to someone else.  All leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment will be seized by the Landlord, while KGIC will be facing another write off.  What about all the books, student records, staff and student belongings, furnitures, signage, goodwill and reputation costs?

Students will be writing home and tell their agents/parents: "we have been evicted by the school's landlord" in Canada?  I am sure this is where the business relationship ends. This type of action by KGIC damages Canada's reputation in the international education sector at large.

This is the second bailiff closure in 30 days,  Last one was SEC on Hornby St in Vancouver just before Christmas.  Next week be another one?  

This is a public company that holds respect from its shareholders, or a school that holds respect from its students, or a business that holds respect from its business suppliers/landlord?

That is a well penned barb.  Nicely done. I think most would agree that these are dire times for the company, but I don't equate solvency and respect (or lack thereof). A company (this company) can make financial mistakes and be respectful towards its clients.  I would imagine that the students' personal experiences hinge most heavily on teacher engagement, and not legal status ...more

WOW - guess you don't like the company. If you'd be so kind to answer since you seem to know everything - is the bailiff notice final and its just a mater of hours before bailiffs take furniture, etc or is there a period of 10, 15 or 30 days to pay/make amends etc. There is in US and other provinces - not sure on Ontario or Toronto. Appreciate anyones knowledge on this. Thanks!
