A 42-year-old referee was arrested in Quebec City Sunday morning for allegedly assaulting a child at the end of a hockey game.
The Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) was called to the Sainte-Foy ice rink around 9:25 a.m.
The police met the victim's mother and several witnesses at the scene. The man was then arrested, said SPVQ spokesperson Sandra Dion.
Dion said the 10-year-old did not suffer physical injuries but did not specify the nature of the alleged assault.
According to section 265 of the Criminal Code, common assault is the use of force on another person without their consent.
The man was released on a promise to appear in court.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
