Loading ...Ontario Ministry of Labour now facing criminal charges in mining death
The Ministry, an inspector for the ministry at the time, the former Dynatec Corp. and three others are charged with criminal negligence causing death in the fatal 2006 injury of Raymond Campeau
In 2006, Raymond Campeau was fatally injured at Podolsky Mine in Capreol. Since that time, his widow, Faye Campeau — who now goes by Fay Smith in court documents, and will be referred to as Smith here — has been in and out of the courts in an attempt to hold both the mine’s owner and the Ministry of Labour accountable.
The Crown’s decision to take over the case means it will now proceed as a public prosecution. The matter has been adjourned until July 31.
