Contractor Sentenced to House Arrest and Volunteer Work for Fraud

SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — A local contractor who pleaded guilty to defrauding some of his clients has been sentenced to spend the next 14 months under house arrest and will be required to do volunteer carpentry work to help make amends.

During his time in custody, Waite is required to stay in his home unless at work, or carrying out several other activities accepted by the court. He will also spend the next three years on probation. Waite is also participating in the Restorative Justice Program, which aims, in part, to help offenders make amends to victims and get a better understanding of the consequences of their actions.

The victims signed a contract with Waite and provided him with a deposit in the form of a $50,000 bank draft on Dec. 29 of that year. The family understood that the money would be used to secure building materials and to pay for the labour that would be applied to the construction of the cottage. The only work Waite ever did on the Canoe Cove property was to place markers outlining the future footprint of the building.
