A Toronto teacher will be going to trial in connection with the death of a high school student who drowned on a field trip in Muskoka two years ago.
Nicholas Mills is charged with criminal negligence causing the death of 15-year-old Jeremiah Perry.
Perry was on a trip to Algonquin Provincial Park with other students in July 2017 when he went for a swim and vanished underwater.
His body was found by a police dive team the next day.
The Toronto District School Board said Perry and 14 other students among the 32 on the trip had failed a mandatory swim test and was supposed to take another.
Mills is scheduled to appear in court on January 9.
