He appeared in Charlottetown District Court on Monday, where he was sentenced to three days in prison. He started serving his sentence immediately. Godfrey, 37, has also been fined $ 1,000 and asked to pay an additional $ 300 to the victim, as well as lose his license for one year. He has no previous record. The court heard that Godfrey’s vehicle was spotted crossing the centerline while driving in Stratford on May 7 at about 2 p.m. Godfrey told the court he was deeply sorry and ashamed. He said it would not happen again.
‘Incredibly frustrating’
“He notified members of the executive branch immediately after the incident when it happened,” Chamber President Bill de Blois told CBC News on Monday afternoon. “It’s obviously incredibly frustrating from our point of view.” He added that Godfrey “made a terrible mistake, but he has accepted full responsibility for his actions. He will face and face the full consequences of this.” Godfrey took over as CEO of the chamber in September 2021, having spent seven years as executive director of the PEI Federation of Agriculture.
