Statement from CHEO Foundation

It has come to our attention that proceeds from certain community-organized third-party events were misdirected by a former employee of the CHEO Foundation. Upon learning this, we launched an internal review, retained legal counsel, hired a forensic investigator, submitted a claim to our insurance company and reported the matter to Ottawa Police Services to determine the full scope of the situation.   

We are dismayed by this news and continue to work diligently to faithfully serve the children, youth and families in our region while the investigation is underway. We are committed to working closely with investigators as they complete their work.
