The nearly year-long internal investigation into the deaths of three cadets at the Royal Military College of Canada has resulted in a scathing report from a Board of Inquiry.  It found the cadets took their own lives in separate incidents in 2016. RMC had no suicide prevention policy in place.  A censored copy of the board of inquiry’s final report shows the board of inquiry faced challenges accessing information and evidence during its investigation.

The military’s chief of personnel, Lt.-Gen. Charles Lamarre, says senior commanders are committed to fixing the problems as quickly as possible.
