It has been discovered that the fire that destroyed the Sandy Bay Child and Family Services Agency office two years ago was deliberately set.
An investigation was conducted after the building, located on Sandy Bay First Nation, was burned on December 15th 2019. The fire commissioner hadn’t immediately determined the cause because the building was completely destroyed.
The Office of the Fire Commission determined that the fire was set with a device, and a police investigation started.
The fire commissioner's investigation report was finalized and sent to police in April 2020, and the case was closed a year later because of insufficient evidence to proceed.
