Act, s. 11 – Restrictions on advertising and soliciting On July 18, 2011 the school voluntarily ceased to operate as a PCC under the Act. On November 14, 2011 a designate of the Superintendent advised the school that it must immediately cease advertising in any form that it is a registered PCC. On August 16, 2013 a second designate of the Superintendent reviewed the school’s website at www.genesistrucktraining.com. This website advertised AZ and DZ “professional truck driver” programs and presented claims of registration as a PCC and accreditation by the Ministry of Education. These claims were false. |

Penalty of $1,000 per day is upheld. The penalty accumulated from September 9, 2013 to September 10, 2013 (inclusive). The balance of the evidence indicates that the school was advertising an unregistered PCC and unapproved AZ and DZ programs and was aware of the requirements to register and obtain program approval prior to advertising these programs.
