Children in the care of a for-profit private foster home provider were given cannabis daily, allowed to go to homes where they were sexually exploited, and taken to see known drug dealers by staff, according to newly unsealed search warrant documents obtained by CBC News.

Spirit Rising House has been under police investigation since February, after a social media post raised allegations the company was providing marijuana to youth in its care as a form of harm reduction.

Sources told CBC several people connected with Spirit Rising House have been arrested, but charges have not yet been laid.

In a sworn affidavit, Winnipeg police said the evidence they collected shows that people who were involved in Spirit Rising House were "criminally negligent" and caused numerous children in care to suffer bodily harm.
