Koren Makarowski, 39, from Stome, Alta. has been charged with one count of assault. Karen Krueber, 53, from Killam has been charged with three counts of assault.

Police said both women were employees of the facility when the abuse was reported.

Since the matter is now before the courts, RCMP would provide no further information.
