Montreal police assisted Batshaw Youth and Family Centres in a raid on a suspected illegal school in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough on Wednesday. A community spokesperson told CBC the school never refused access to youth protection officials but could not say how long those negotiations had been going on. The school is operated by the ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jewish community, apparently operating without an Education Ministry permit.
