This summer camp kept an instructor who pleaded guilty to assaulting kids. Ontario law allows it

Despite pleading guilty to assaulting children, a lead instructor at a Kawartha Lakes hockey camp was kept on this summer, highlighting a significant gap in Ontario's current laws regarding the screening of staff working at summer camps. This situation underscores the need for more stringent regulations to protect vulnerable children. Without mandatory background checks, there's a risk that individuals with a history of harmful behavior can continue to work with kids in trusted environments. This alarming oversight raises serious questions about the safety measures in place for children across the province.
