Parents want registration fees back!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A group of 10 parents are threatening legal action against a Vaughan camp \u2013 where a four-year-old was found unconscious on a pool \u2013 if staff refuse to refund them their registration fees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The unnamed little girl was pulled from the pool Tuesday at Pavilion Fitness Club \u2013 Near Dufferin St. and Hwy. 407- and died in the hospital Friday morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The group of concerned parents claimed they were told by the Pavilion over the weekend, which runs the Kidz Klub drop-in camp, there would be no refunds issued because the staff were not negligent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
“Obviously, the parents have issues about sending their kids back to the camp,” said the families’ lawyer Sandra Zisckind, of the firm Diamond and Diamond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parents of the dead girl are not included in the group.<\/p>\r\n
Zisckind said the group is waiting to hear from the camp directors before pursuing legal action.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
“We’re waiting to see what occurs in the next week,” she said. “If they are going to refund the money to the parents and make any necessary compensation, then clearly a lawsuit isn’t necessary.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parents, who have children ranging in age between four and seven, are looking for compensation of $700 to $1,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A spokesman for Pavilion could not be reached Sunday. A receptionist who picked up the phone said no one would be available until Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
No charges have been laid in the case, police said Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
