St. Charles College (Sudbury)

St. Charles College is a Catholic Secondary School located at 1940 Hawthorne Drive in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. The school motto is "Goodness Discipline and Knowledge" and is based on the Basilian motto, Bonitatem et disciplinam et scientiam doce me, which comes from Psalm 119 of the Bible, - Teach me good judgement and knowledge: for I believe your commandments.

On April 30, 2020, the Canadian Supreme Court rejected an appeal from the Basilian Fathers of Toronto to deny payment of nearly $2.5 million including $500,000 in punitive damages, to sex abuse victim Rod MacLeod. MacLeod, who was previously awarded this compensation by a jury in April 2018, was sexually abused by former St. Charles teacher Father William Hodgson Marshall. when he was a student at St. Charles in the 1960s. In 2011, Marshall pled guilty to committing abuse he committed in Sudbury and other Catholic high schools in Windsor and Toronto between 1952 and 1986. MacLeod's case was profiled in the 2019 documentary film Prey.

In late June 2022, a teacher from St. Charles College, Michael Zanier, 56, was charged with two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference involving minors. Following further investigations, on August 25, the Greater Sudbury Police charged him with an additional five counts of sexual assault and five counts of sexual interference related to complaints of inappropriate behavior and touching involving students under the age of 16. The police indicated that there might be other survivors, urging them to come forward and report any incidents.
