Human rights case
On September 14, 2013, Toppers Pizza in Georgetown fired an employee after discovering she was pregnant. The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario determined this was illegal and ordered the store manager to complete a training course on human rights. Toppers was ordered to pay the woman $20,000.[1][2]
In a statement following the hearing, the company said this was "an isolated incident", claiming it took equal employment policy very seriously and took the necessary precautions for the future.
On May 5, 2022, Ronald Toppazzini, founder of Toppers pizza was charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation of minor, dating back to a claim from 1989.[3]
