"In a statement provided to CBC News, OPP spokesperson Gosia Puzio said the investigation is linked to transfer payments the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services made to Jake's House for Autistic Children. The OPP anti-rackets branch began its investigation into the group which provides meaningful support to families living with autism across Canada, according to its website after the treasury board secretariat conducted an audit and referred its findings to police in September of 2025, Puzio said."
"Douglas Allingham, spokesperson for the minister of children, community and social services, told CBC News in a statement that the province expects any organizations receiving taxpayer funding to fulfill their obligations. "When those standards are not met, mechanisms are in place to ensure accountability," he said. "The active OPP investigation into this organization demonstrates that these accountability processes are working. "We cannot provide further details of an ongoing OPP investigation.""
OPP anti-rackets branch is investigating Jake's House for Autistic Children over transfer payments from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. The treasury board secretariat audited the ministry's transfer payments and referred findings to police in September 2025. The probe includes finances and contracts related to Jake's House. OPP spokesperson Gosia Puzio confirmed the link but declined further details because the investigation is active. The ministry said organizations receiving taxpayer funding must meet obligations and that accountability mechanisms are functioning. CBC News contacted the charity for comment. The probe follows a recent OPP investigation into Keel Digital Solutions.
