February 8, 2024

A class action lawsuit can now be initiated on behalf of adults with disabilities who have been put on waitlists for services in Ontario.

For Karis employees, this means the January 24, 2019 Request to Preserve Client Records from July 1, 2011 to present remains in effect. As such, Karis must retain and keep accessible, and not destroy or modify, any documents that may be relevant to the class action lawsuit.
