The lawsuits filed by J. Doe #1 and J. Doe #2 on July 27, 2023, against Kilcoo Camp and David Latimer have been resolved by mutual agreement of the parties.
Kilcoo Camp is committed to being a safe and nurturing environment. The Camp and all involved have learned from, and are grateful for, the frank and positive discussions that have led to this outcome.
As previously announced, after many years of service David Latimer has retired as Director. Kilcoo is grateful that Patrick Tingley has agreed to act as Director. David Latimer will not be involved in Kilcoo Camp in the future.
As part of its ongoing commitment to safety, the Camp has put in place a Sexual Harassment and Abuse Policy and Anti-Bullying policy which will evolve to respond to camp management best practices. The Camp has also chosen to engage with the Ontario Camping Association for an enhanced cycle of audits on such programs.
Kilcoo Camp remains committed to ensuring that staff, campers, and all those who spend time at Kilcoo in the future have a fulfilling and safe experience.
The parties to the litigation will have no further comment.
