The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's disposition.
The accused was previously found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and other offences.
The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public due to his schizoaffective disorder and vulnerability to substance use when unwell.
However, noting his stability and progress in a highly structured environment, the Board ordered his transfer from a maximum secure facility to the general forensic program at Ontario Shores.
