A former Selkirk private school teacher, Kenneth MacKinnon Mealey, convicted of sexual assault against several students over 20 years ago, has denied accusations of abusing a current plaintiff who is suing him for different claims of sexual violence. The plaintiff, a former student at the now-closed St. John's Cathedral Boys' School, alleges that Mealey abused him in 1982.

However, Mealey denies any sexual contact with the plaintiff, stating that he did not engage in any sexual acts on him. The lawsuit, filed in Manitoba’s Court of King’s Bench, also names the Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land as a defendant, accusing them of knowing of Mealey's alleged sexual assaults and failing to take action to stop the abuse.

Is your career "rusting out"? Here's what that means, and how to spot it.

Many employees feel their employers don't value them and that they're not contributing as much as they could, a workplace poll finds.

  • "Rusting out" refers to workers performing below expectations despite showing up for shifts.
  • Survey by Deputy found 15% of hourly workers in various sectors are languishing in jobs.
  • Unlike burnout, rusting out workers still report to work but lack motivation and purpose.
