The Ontario Review Board conducted a mandatory annual review of the accused's disposition under s. 672.81(1) of the Criminal Code.

The accused, previously found NCR for assault causing bodily harm, suffers from schizophrenia and severe substance use disorders.

The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public due to ongoing substance use, elopements, and rule-breaking behaviour.

The Board ordered the maintenance of the detention order with modifications to allow the accused to attend a residential treatment program for up to six months.
