Catholic Church, province sued over sexual assault allegations on Métis students

Two former Métis students of schools over which the Manitoba government had jurisdiction are suing the Winnipeg archdiocese, the Sisters of Notre Dame des Mission and the province over alleged sexual abuse.

The lawsuit outlines allegations that date back more than 50 years, naming two priests and a nun, both now deceased, as the perpetrators.

The plaintiffs' counsel, Israel Ludwig, hopes to settle the case outside the courtroom.
