HALIFAX – Police and the Nova Scotia government are looking into a complaint against a priest who headed up a rehabilitation centre for addicts in Cape Breton.
Officials with Talbot House said Thursday that Rev. Paul Abbass has taken a leave of absence from his position as executive director of the facility, but offered no details on the nature of the complaint.
The board of directors said in a statement it is investigating the complaint, which it became aware of through the province’s Department of Community Services on Feb. 2.
“It is an unfortunate and challenging situation for all involved,” John Gainer, Talbot House board chairman, said in the statement.
