Shocked at pre-Christmas layoffs and a new partnership with Australia, a campaign is building to "save" CanTeen. Chief executive Bruce Pilbrow left in late 2016 and five board members resigned last year, including chair Dion Mortensen. A Facebook post from November 30 told CanTeen supporters it was considering redundancies and creating an online support service to complement its regular programmes. Putting aside disputes over the substance, what appears to have offended many CanTeen members is the style of the announcement; that they were presented with a solution without having any input. CanTeen chair Scholes says the board has acted with the best intentions and decisions haven't been made lightly.
