    Brothers of the Christian Schools

    The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools is a Catholic religious order founded by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in France in 1680. In Canada, members are generally referred to as Christian Brothers or De La Salle Brothers. They are not to be confused with the Congregation of Christian Brothers who were founded by Edmund Rice in Ireland in 1802 and whose members in Canada were also called Christian Brothers or Irish Christian Brothers. The Brothers of the Christian Schools were a major force in Catholic education in Canada, especially in Quebec. They first arrived in Montreal in 1837, then experienced numeric growth, geographic expansion and a solid reputation over the next 125 years. The Brothers underwent a significant exodus and decline in vocations with the dramatic religious and social changes spawned by the Second Vatican Council and the Quiet Revolution.

    Bruce McArthur Case

    Between 2010 and 2017, eight men, most of whom had ties to Toronto’s Gay Village, disappeared. The Toronto Police Service (TPS) initially dismissed the idea that a serial killer was responsible. But when more gay men went missing, the investigation became the largest in TPS history. It also involved the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and other law enforcement agencies, as well as two task forces. The investigation led to the arrest of Bruce McArthur, a self-employed landscaper who had hidden the remains of his victims in planter boxes. McArthur pleaded guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. The TPS was harshly criticized for its handling of the case. As a result, a unit dedicated to the investigation of missing persons was formed.
