Fraudulent Misrepresentation of Professional Credentials - McKenley Esnard
So what does McKenley Esnard say are his credentials? Well, among other things, he claims to have three (3) PhDs (two from the University of Toronto and one from the University of Vermont) and an MBA from the Harvard School of Business.
An independent investigation has found that the Office of the Registrar of every one of these schools has no record of degrees earned or attendance by McKenley Esnard. (See Attachment).
McKenley Esnard also claims to have Committee and Chair positions with the United Nations in Canada. Further, he has used this claim in promoting his consulting services to various communities including First Nations communities. The United Nations Association in Canada confirms McKenley Esnard is not and has never been on any sub-committees for the organization. (See attachment).
In total, our research has found at least fourteen (14) significant mis-representations in McKenley Esnard’s professional biography.

Why is $341, 644 of Ontario Taxpayer money being given to company whose Board Chair is a professional fake?
Why didn’t the Government do its due-diligence?
How does a TSX Venture Exchange listed company have a Board Chair whose credentials are completely falsified?
Have taxpayers been ripped off?
Where is the money going?
Is investor money safe with this company?

ENPAR is a narrowly traded small-cap company with reported 2010 revenues of $275, 133 according to their Q2 2011 interim financial statements. With no track record to speak of, a decision to award provincial funding would have been made significantly on the reputation of the company’s management team.
According to its web site, ENPAR has a management team of two (2) and a Board of five (5).
Why did the Government not undertake basic due diligence on this company and its directors before giving it $341, 644 of taxpayer money?

These are the questions. We want answers.

ENPAR Awarded Ontario Government Funding to Establish Demonstration Installation of its Unique Ammonia Treatment System

GUELPH, ON, Aug. 25, 2011, 2011 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) –

Dr. Gene Shelp, President and CEO of ENPAR Technologies Inc. (TSX:ENP) ("ENPAR" or "the Company"), is very pleased to announce that the Company has been awarded funding in the amount of $341, 644 by the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation to conduct final tests of its AmmEL System at the City of Guelph's Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The City of Guelph Waste Water Services is supporting the project as the official Demonstration Partner. Acknowledged for its leadership through environmental stewardship initiatives, the City is committed to the long term protection of precious water resources.

"Protecting and managing our water supplies is a key priority for Ontario and countries round the world, " said Glen Murray, Minister of Research and Innovation. "Ontario is proud to help our water technology companies grow and expand, providing clean, reliable water and creating jobs."

Design, manufacturing, and assembly of the AmmEL System will be conducted at ENPAR's facilities in Guelph and Cambridge, Ontario. Planned to begin in late autumn of this year, the operational and analysis phases of the project will continue until the Spring, 2012. The patented, modular demonstration unit will be designed to treat approximately 100, 000 litres of waste water per day and convert ammonia in municipal wastewater to environmentally friendly nitrogen gas.
Conventional ammonia treatment methods convert ammonia, an acute toxin, to nitrate. Nitrate, which is categorized as a chronic toxin, is typically discharged into water bodies adjacent to treatment facilities. Contamination by nitrate is implicated in the formation of carcinogenic compounds known as nitrosamines which represent a direct threat to public health and have been identified as toxic to livestock and animals in the wild.

The cost effective AmmEL System represents a viable, year-round treatment system for ammonia in municipal and industrial waste waters. The technology removes ammonia to levels below those mandated by the provincial and federal governments, thereby fulfilling municipal and industrial waste water treatment requirements. Operating cost reductions are also anticipated.

A major advantage of the AmmEL System is that its operational efficiency is not affected by low temperature. Therefore, it is especially well suited to water treatment markets in temperate climatic zones where water temperatures typically decline to slightly above freezing during the winter months. In addition, the environmentally friendly AmmEL System does not produce the greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, as is the case with conventional biological treatment methods.

"ENPAR is committed to offering high-reliability technologies as immediate solutions for the treatment of ammonia along with responsible conservation of the world's most precious resource, " Dr. Shelp commented. "The technology has the potential to improve the management of nitrogen compounds in waste water, thereby mitigating the detrimental effects of excessive nitrogen loading resulting from conventional treatment practices. We are confident that this demonstration project at the City of Guelph will provide near-term impetus to advance sales of the AmmEL System to domestic and global markets."

The Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation at Ontario's Global Water Leadership Summit stated in its news release of May 18, 2011 that the ENPAR "AmmEL System represents a major advance over existing technologies and ENPAR is creating 14 direct jobs to expand its operations to produce and market the new system globally."
