TORONTO, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ - A Settlement Approval Hearing for the Ontario Corrections Staffing-Related Lockdowns Class Actions is scheduled for October 22, 2025. If approved, the proposed $59-million settlement would provide each eligible claimant with between $2,000 and up to $68,000 in compensation. The Lapple v Ontario lawsuit and the Dadzie v Ontario and Canada lawsuit allege that between May 30, 2009, and November 27, 2017, inmates and immigration detainees at most Ontario correctional institutions were subjected to repeated and extended lockdowns due to province-wide understaffing at these institutions. These allegations have not been proven in court and the defendants have not admitted liability. To resolve the lawsuits, the parties have entered into a settlement agreement that requires court approval. Current and former inmates and immigration detainees who experienced lockdowns at Ontario correctional facilities should obtain further information by visiting the website or calling 1-844-742-0825 toll-free, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EDT.

Police allege Sarnia man took picture up girl's skirt at store, broke into woman's bedroom
A 20-year-old Sarnia man has been slapped with a handful of charges including voyeurism and break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. Police say they stem from two separate instances this month. The first allegation was made on Aug. 7 when authorities were contacted about a man acting suspiciously inside a store on Exmouth Street near Lambton Mall Road. A 16-year-old female customer reported an unknown man got close to her. "When she turned around the male quickly moved away exposing his arm held low at his side with a phone," police said in an online statement. " She believed that the male had taken a photo under her skirt." Police say thanks to video surveillance from the store they were able to identify the suspect the following week and bring him into custody. Separate break and enter allegation The accused is also linked to an Aug. 13 overnight break and enter. It happened around 2 a.m. at a home near Mill Street and Lakeshore Road, according to police. A woman says she woke up to find an unknown man standing at the foot of her bed trying to pull the covers off her. When she screamed, police say, he took off.
