History

St. Charles College was opened in conjunction with the Basilian Fathers of Toronto on September 5, 1951, as an all-boys school which was located at the former Children's Aid Society shelter at 258 Pine Street in downtown Sudbury. [1]

By the 1980s, the number of students attending the school had started to outgrow the amount it was able to handle. In 1986, the school was temporarily moved to Garson in the building of the former Garson-Falconbridge Secondary School. [2]

By 1993, the school had yet again outgrown the capacity of the school building, displayed by the 14 portables set up outside the building. Following negotiations with the school board which involved many other schools, the college moved to the building of the Nickel District Secondary School, also becoming a co-educational school in the process via a vote by board trustees on February 15, 1993. [2]

In 2015, the school was expanded in the form of a new wing to accommodate grades 7 and 8 into St. Charles College. [1]

Controversies

On April 30, 2020, the Canadian Supreme Court rejected an appeal from the Basilian Fathers of Toronto to deny payment of nearly $2.5 million including $500,000 in punitive damages, to sex abuse victim Rod MacLeod. [3] MacLeod, who was previously awarded this compensation by a jury in April 2018, [4] was sexually abused by former St. Charles teacher Father William Hodgson Marshall. [3] when he was a student at St. Charles in the 1960s. [3] In 2011, Marshall pled guilty to committing abuse he committed in Sudbury and other Catholic high schools in Windsor and Toronto between 1952 and 1986. [3] MacLeod's case was profiled in the 2019 documentary film Prey .

In late June 2022, a teacher from St. Charles College, Michael Zanier, 56, was charged with two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference involving minors. [5] Following further investigations, on August 25, the Greater Sudbury Police charged him with an additional five counts of sexual assault and five counts of sexual interference related to complaints of inappropriate behavior and touching involving students under the age of 16. [6] The police indicated that there might be other survivors, urging them to come forward and report any incidents.

The sexual abuse scandal in the Congregation of Christian Brothers is a major chapter in the series of Catholic sex abuse cases in various Western jurisdictions.

Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in Canada are well documented dating back to the 1960s. The preponderance of criminal cases with Canadian Catholic dioceses named as defendants that have surfaced since the 1980s strongly indicate that these cases were far more widespread than previously believed. While recent media reports have centred on Newfoundland dioceses, there have been reported cases—tested in court with criminal convictions—in almost all Canadian provinces. Sexual assault is the act of an individual touching another individual sexually and/or committing sexual activities forcefully and/or without the other person's consent. The phrase Catholic sexual abuse cases refers to acts of sexual abuse, typically child sexual abuse, by members of authority in the Catholic church, such as priests. Such cases have been occurring sporadically since the 11th century in Catholic churches around the world. This article summarizes some of the most notable Catholic sexual abuse cases in Canadian provinces.
