The court heard in March that the RCMP received a complaint on Nov. 28, 2018 from the Rotary Club of Stratford that it was missing money from a two-year period.
Crown attorney Morgan Watts told the court Pineau forged a signature on the cheques he made out to himself. Pineau wrote 57 cheques to himself for a total of $17,727.28.
