Huronia Regional Centre

Huronia Regional Centre: Without explanation or warning to some of the plaintiffs, the $1 billion lawsuit over allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the facility for developmentally disabled children in Orillia, Ont., was adjourned until Tuesday, prompting concern among victims that their stories might never be heard, according to The Star. We were working their jobs and we were not getting paid. They were the ones getting the money. We had to do the slavery, Ford said and There were tears of disappointment outside a Toronto courtroom Monday as former residents of the Huronia Regional Centre learned that a historic class-action lawsuit against the Ontario government had been postponed. Former resident Carrie Ford, who lived at Huronia as a teenager in the late 60s, said it felt as though she was being mistreated once again. During her time at the facility, Ford said, she was forced to perform manual labour. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
