About this settlement

Abuse and systemic failures at Ontario provincial youth institutions from 1953 to 1984.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has approved a $60-million class action settlement for thousands of children who were abused at provincial youth institutions between January 1, 1953, and April 2, 1984. The settlement addresses allegations of systemic failures in the management and operation of these schools, including inadequate staff training and lack of accountability. Individual compensation ranges from $5,000 to $100,000, with a simplified process for claims. An additional $1,500 is available for counselling costs related to the claims process. The court found the settlement to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of class members.
