The trial of a Toronto school teacher, accused of criminal negligence in the drowning death of a 15-year-old student, has begun.

On July 4, 2017, Jeremiah Perry was on a school canoe trip when he drowned in Big Trout Lake at Algonquin Provincial Park.

Perry testified that her son lived in the Caribbean with his grandmother — or with her — until September 2016, when Jeremiah and his brother moved to Toronto to live with their father. “When the incident happened, I called his mom immediately,” Anderson said. “I told her that officers said he went swimming and he went missing. And right away she said to me, in a cold voice: ‘Jeremiah can’t swim.’”

Anderson went on to testify that during that phone call, Mills never mentioned the fact Jeremiah had failed a swimming test.
