SIOUX LOOKOUT, Ont. - Six former First Nations students of an Indigenous-led educational organization have filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit alleging it failed to protect them from sexual abuse allegedly perpetrated by a man employed by the organization who passed away before standing trial on the charges.
The lawsuit was filed against the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council by six Indigenous individuals from Northern Ontario who are seeking $1.5 million each for aggravated damages and an additional $500,000 for past loss of earning capacity and income.
The statement of claim filed in Thunder Bay Superior Court alleges NNEC is vicariously liable and directly liable for the harms inflicted upon the six individuals while in the care of the organization.
