A Burlington man is facing a pair of sex assault charges in connection with a 2017 incident at a Hamilton summer camp.
Hamilton Police say the investigation began in early July and is connected with a Mohawk College Camp counsellor who is being accused of sexual assault and sexual interference.
A spokesperson for Mohawk says the counsellor in question has not worked with the program since 2017 and that the institution is working closely with police amid the probe.
“This is upsetting news because we take our responsibility for caring for our community seriously,” president and CEO Ron McKerlie said in a statement.
“Mohawk College follows sector safety practices throughout each day at camp. Counsellors are screened before hiring, including a police vulnerable sector check, and undergo four days of specific camp training.”
The school is offering support via the Mohawk College website to anyone who may have experienced or been impacted by sexualized violence or misconduct.
