Thunder Bay police chief Sylvie Hauth said she was formally notified of the investigation last week. We will be participating with the ombudsman s office regarding their investigation, Hauth told the Thunder Bay Police Services Board during its Tuesday meeting.
The ombudsman s investigation was announced last month, when Ontario ombudsman Paul Dube stated in a media release that his office has received complaints about the lack of fairness and transparency in the two closures. Concerns have been raised about a lack of notice and consideration for the vulnerabilities of the young people who were moved out of these centres – for example, whether their rights were respected and what planning was done for transitioning them to new facilities, Dube stated.
