John Volken Academy in Surrey , B.C. , is closing for good after a government shutdown order.

The closure comes after several allegations of unpaid labour and unsafe working conditions for residents.

The provincial Ministry of Health revoked the centre's registration last year for violating the Community Care and Assisted Living Act .

The centre's facilities in Surrey have now been sold for close to $78 million .

Chambers said the facility had done away with both speaking bans and benching practices, which were previously used as de-escalation methods. “Anybody who knows sports knows there’s a bench. When you’re messing up on the floor and get hot-headed, you cool down on the bench before getting back in the game. That’s how society works. But they took it as, No, it’s humiliating and abusive.'”.
