A high-ranked executive in Saskatchewan's ministry of education has resigned the same week a podcast episode was released alleging his inappropriate behaviour.
Michael Walter told CTV News he resigned from his position as assistant deputy minister for personal reasons.
In August 2022, the Saskatchewan government appointed Walter to oversee Legacy Christian Academy — the private Christian school at the centre of a class-action lawsuit filed by former students claiming abuse by staff. The allegations have not been tested in court, but criminal charges have been laid against several of the defendants in the civil suit since it launched in 2022.
Former Legacy students Caitlin Erickson and Jennifer Beaudry detailed their experiences with Walter in the latest episode of the Legacy of Abuse Podcast.
On the podcast, which shares former students’ stories, Erickson described Walter's behaviour as "gross and inappropriate."
At first, Erickson and Beaudry — named plaintiffs on the class-action lawsuit — were hopeful Walter would bring positive change to the school. They were communicating regularly with Walter and exchanging information about the school's practices.
"From the time he took the position, he was letting us know what was going on," Erickson told CTV News.
