Review decision

On February 25, 2026, the review requested by TwoPlugs Inc. was completed. In rendering their decision, the Reviewer conducted a thorough examination of the materials submitted by both TwoPlugs Inc. and the Superintendent of Career Colleges. The findings of this review are detailed below.

The Reviewer upheld the Notice of Contravention issued to TwoPlugs Inc. on June 17, 2025, and provided the following rationale for their decision:

The balance of evidence before me indicates that you did not apply for a review within 15 days after receipt of the notice of contravention, in accordance with subclause 39(6)(a) of the OCCA. In your request for review you mentioned unforeseen delays securing legal counsel, but you failed to provide any rationale for why those delays resulted in your late submission. You eventually submitted your request for review 24 days after receipt of the notice of contravention without legal representation. Your submission with your request for review did not refer to a legal representative, and your written submission requesting review was signed off on by you alone. You confirmed by email on January 23, 2026, that you did not have legal representation at the time of your request for review. I am not satisfied that you provided any strong extenuating circumstances to consider it appropriate to extend the time for applying within the period specified.

In accordance with OCCA s.39(6)(b), I have not found it appropriate based on the information provided in your request for review to extend the time for applying for review, so I am not reviewing the notice of contravention.

Total penalty following the review

$41,000
