The Elliot Lake Inquiry
The Elliot Lake Inquiry was established on July 19, 2012 by the Government of Ontario under the Public Inquiries Act, 2009.
Its mandate is to inquire into and report on events surrounding the collapse on June 23, 2012, of the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake,
the deaths of Lucie Aylwin and Doloris Perizzolo and the injuries to other individuals as well as the emergency management and response.
The Commissioner has designated the events and relevant legislation, regulations and bylaws, policies processes and procedures of provincial
and municipal governments and other parties with respect to the structural integrity of the Algo Centre Mall leading up to the collapse as "Part I".
He designated the events and relevant legislation, regulations and bylaws, policies processes and procedures of provincial and municipal governments
and other parties in respect of the emergency management and response as "Part 2".
After the evidence is heard in respect of these facts, the Commission will engage in a less formal process to review these policies and explore
recommendations which could be made for the future.
The Honourable Paul R. Bélanger was appointed Commissioner.
