Kawartha Lakes police defend charging resident with assault after alleged break-in
The chief of police in Kawartha Lakes, Ont., is defending assault charges his officers laid against a man who was the victim of an alleged break-in, saying Canadians' rights to defend themselves and their property 'are not unlimited.' The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has been facing criticism for charging a 44-year-old man in Lindsay, Ont., after an alleged intruder in his apartment, who is also facing charges, was left with life-threatening injuries during an altercation. Premier Doug Ford blasted that decision today, saying during an unrelated news conference in Hamilton that it shows 'something is broken.' Ford says if someone breaks into his house they would 'fight for (their) life.' The premier says people should use 'all the resources' they possibly can to protect their families, and maybe then criminals will think twice about breaking into people's homes. Kawartha Lakes Police Chief Kirk Robertson wrote in a statement today that he recognizes the recent incident generated significant public interest and emotional responses, but notes that the law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 20, 2025.

Woman files class action lawsuit against Nordik Spa alleging sexual assault
A woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Nordik Spa in Chelsea, Que. on behalf of victims of sexual assault at the popular resort. The claim comes following a visit to the spa on Dec. 2, 2024, during which the plaintiff alleges she was sexually assaulted by a male massage therapist. Lambert Avocats, the law firm representing the class action says Nordik Spa did not take the necessary measures to prevent or put an end to sexual abuse committed at its institution, and that it was therefore liable. The class action includes anyone who was sexually assaulted during a massage at Nordik Spa Village Chelsea. The class action, which was filed Aug. 13 in Montreal, is awaiting authorization by a judge, Lambert Avocats says. The suit notes that there have been previous reports of sexual assault at the spa involving massage therapists, including at least one that led to a conviction and a six-month prison sentence in 2021. Following charges against a massage therapist at Spa Nordik in 2023, a general manager for the spa told CTV News Ottawa that all subcontractors who provide massage therapy services must provide criminal record checks and proof of certification annually. The lawsuit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of members of the class action, including the cost of the massage, plus taxes and interest, legal fees, and compensation for all pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages suffered by the plaintiffs. 'Our client felt that the massage therapists' behaviour and Le Nordik's response to the different cases of sexual abuse that took place at its establishment had to be denounced,' said Lambert Avocats lawyer Philippe Brault in a statement to CTV News Ottawa. 'In addition, a class action is an ideal tool for victims of sexual assault, as recognized by the courts. Indeed, it favours access to justice for victims of sexual violence, who already face enormous difficulties in pursuing individual remedies.' In a statement to CTV News Ottawa, Nordik Spa said it wouldn't comment on the class action lawsuit at this time. 'Nordik Spa Village Chelsea does not tolerate any misconduct or inappropriate behaviour on the part of the massage therapists practicing in our spa. All therapists are subject to rigorous screening at the onset, including a criminal background check. We also conduct audits throughout their time at the spa,' Nordik Spa said in an email Wednesday afternoon. 'We will comment on the allegations contained in a class action lawsuit that has just been filed against us, with full transparency, at the appropriate time. It is our policy to cooperate fully with authorities whenever allegations are brought to our attention. For now, we would like to reassure the public about the rigour of our internal controls and our lack of tolerance for any behaviour that compromises the safety or trust of our guests.'

RNC to add special constables to police force
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary will be adding special constables to the police force next year — with recruitment set to begin this fall — so that sworn police officers can focus on core policing duties. Premier John Hogan announced the pilot initiative on Wednesday. It will see about a dozen special constables assigned to platoons in the northeast Avalon region. A government news release said the constables will do low-risk work such as supervising detained individuals, guarding crime scenes, performing traffic control at accident scenes and assisting with administrative duties. They will complete a 10-week training program beginning in winter 2026. It will consist of six weeks of in-class training through the Atlantic Police Academy, followed by four weeks of on-the-job training with the RNC. RNC Chief Pat Roach said he expects the pilot project will become permanent. "If we have a tractor-trailer that overturns on the highway, that highway could be closed for five, or six or eight hours, so we can now use these people to look after those sorts of things, and get front-line police officers back doing patrol and responding to calls for service," Roach told reporters at the announcement on Wednesday. Hogan said the provincial government will spend $2.2 million on the pilot program over the next three years, and it will be modelled after programs in Winnipeg and Ottawa. He said it offers an entry-level position for people interested in becoming RNC officers. "If you're interested in policing, I think it's a great opportunity to look at this and see if it's the right fit for you," Hogan said.
