Girao v. Cunningham: Latest Word on Trial Evidence by the Ontario Court of Appeal
Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College’s investigation found evidence of sexual misconduct against former Barry's Bay Catholic teacher Uwe Lieflander who worked at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College in Barry’s Bay from 2007 to 2017. While the school is encouraging survivors to contact the lawyer who did the investigation for them, survivors who want to make claims against the school should contact independent lawyers for legal advice.
