Sex abuse lawsuit targets school for deaf
CBC News (Canada)
A man who says he was abused while he was a student at a Montreal school for the deaf is seeking permission to launch a class action lawsuit against the institution and the priests who ran it.
Court documents filed Wednesday on behalf of Serge D’arcy outline the abuse he alleges he suffered at the Montreal institute for the deaf and mute between 1964 and 1972.

Having grown up in White Rock as a deaf person, Denise Thew knew the only way to reach her goals was to leave.
Wanting to advance in her education and career – and not finding enough resources locally – the then-24-year-old boarded a plane for California.
“I couldn’t accomplish what I wanted to do in the Vancouver area and so I began my search and I found that I was able to be successful if I moved.”
Sgt. Tony Wallace Remembered
NTID News – September 1, 2010
Lexis Wallace, 12, and her father, Sgt. Tony Wallace, together in Ohio during a visit this summer.
Sgt. Anthony Wallace was living his dream, working as a police officer in Alaska for the past four years.
A Hall of Fame wrestler while attending Rochester Institute of Technology and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Sgt. Wallace worked as a Public Safety officer from 2003 to 2006 at RIT until learning of a job with a police department in tiny Hoonah, Alaska.
