BEAUVAL, Sask. – A three-week trial will be held this fall for a man accused of indecent assault at a northern Saskatchewan residential school during the 1960s.

Paul Leroux was a dormitory supervisor at the Beauval Indian Residential School from 1960 to 1967.

Leroux is facing 17 charges after some former students at Beauval complained about the treatment they received.

All the complainants were between the ages of three and 18 at the time of the alleged offences.

Leroux’s trial begins Oct. 14 in North Battleford.
