Alleged abuse of students at N.S. school prompts intended class action
Nova Scotia law firm has served notice of intended class action against Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education and a teacher accused of student abuse. The firm, MacGillivray Injury and Insurance Law, claims the action is on behalf of students at Learning Centre at Dr. W.A. MacLeod Consolidated School in Riverton, Nova Scotia.
The 53-year-old teacher from Bible Hill, N.S., faces 10 criminal charges including assault by choking, sexual assault, and administering a noxious thing. The alleged offences allegedly took place between September 3 and September 10, 2026 involving four victims. The law firm has four plaintiffs and is seeking additional claims from parents and guardians of students who attended the learning centre between September 1, 2025 and September 10, 2026.
The Nova Scotia RCMP states the school district removed the teacher's access to the school and students following the initial assault report.
