The City of Vernon has just wrapped up two days in B.C. Supreme Court fighting again against the reinstatement of a fire captain it fired after a hidden surveillance camera caught him and a female colleague in the fire chief's office engaged in a brief moment of "consensual sexual activity."
Both Vernon Fire Capt. Brent Bond and the female dispatcher were fired the day after the 88-second sexual tryst happened between them in March 2018, but Bond managed to get his job back, with conditions, after the B.C. Labour Relations Board ruled the City's action was unduly harsh and ordered that the captain be reinstated.
