The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for assault and mischief.
The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia and a substance use disorder, had recently been transferred to a more secure unit following substance use and aggressive behaviour.
The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety, as he would likely decompensate and re-engage in criminal conduct if discharged.
The Board ordered that the current detention disposition be renewed and upheld the ongoing restriction of liberties to allow for further monitoring.
