A Hamilton-area MP is calling on the Ontario government to conduct an inquiry into abuses at provincial training schools, including one just east of Ottawa he attended in the 1970s. St. Joseph's Training School in Alfred, Ont., was considered a Catholic reform institution for boys that operated from the 1940s to the 1970s. St. Joseph's Training School operated in this building on St. Paul Street in Alfred, Ont., until the 1970s, when it shut down and became an Ontario Agricultural College. The St. Joseph's victims shared a portion of that money with the victims of another school near Toronto. The Christian Brothers were expected to pay that money back to the St. Joseph's victims, but didn't.
