Ontario Review Board

The Ontario Review Board (ORB) is an independent tribunal in Ontario, Canada, responsible for reviewing the cases of individuals found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. Its main role is to assess the progress of these individuals, determine if they pose a risk to public safety, and decide whether they can be released or should remain in a secure treatment facility. The ORB balances the rights of the individuals with public safety concerns, conducting regular reviews to ensure fair treatment and appropriate care based on each person's mental health status and circumstances.
