	Police Probe Alleged Abuse at Former Ont. Private School CBC News September 27, 2007 http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2007/09/27/ot-grenville-070926.html A criminal investigation has been launched into allegations of abuse at the now closed Grenville Christian College near Brockville in eastern Ontario. The school, which closed in July, had an elite reputation among Ontario private schools, charging up to $35,000 annually. It listed former lieutenants-governor, a senator and a Canadian diplomat among its patrons. The allegations of sexual and physical abuse extend to the late 1970s. Former students and staff are spread across Canada and the United States. The Ontario Provincial Police has asked anyone with knowledge of wrongdoing at the school to contact them. Police have not named any suspects. An Anglican bishop has been investigating two priests who were headmasters of the school. But both Rev. Charles Farnsworth and Rev. Gordon Mintz told the Globe and Mail newspaper they did nothing wrong and say allegations of mistreatment of students are without substance. As part of the investigation, police have been granted access to a private Facebook site where former students have been discussing their experiences at the school.
