A former community centre worker has been charged with fraud and theft.
Robert Michael Minoru Yoneda is alleged to have embezzled a "substantial sum" from the South Arm Community Association over a period of five years.
Yoneda, who held a senior position with the association, was initially suspended, then fired in September 2011 after an internal investigation found irregularities in the association's accounting.
The association runs the South Arm Community Centre in a joint partnership with the city. Its annual operating budget is more than $1 million.
When the allegations first arose last year, city officials alleged Yoneda had stolen about $200,000. However, it's unclear how much is alleged to have gone missing.
