A former Girl Guides of Canada leader from a town in south-central Ontario has been charged in connection with a historical sexual assault case dating back to 1998.

York Regional Police launched an investigation in March 2025 when a victim came forward to report she was sexually abused by her Pathfinders leader, police said in a press release. Pathfinders are the branch of Girl Guides for 12- to 14-year-olds.
