Vancouver Schools Settle Abuse Lawsuit
Description
Former students from Vancouver College and St. Thomas More Collegiate are seeking a class-action lawsuit against their schools and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver, alleging abuse by Christian Brothers transferred from Mount Cashel orphanage in Newfoundland from 1976 to 2013. Over 200 survivors are nearing a $30 million settlement, but many feel betrayed and demand a genuine apology for the abuse they suffered. School presidents now acknowledge the need for an apology and plan to issue one with survivors present, marking a potential step towards restorative justice. The approval hearing is set to resume on July 6th.
