Despite a packed town hall meeting hosted by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on Saturday evening, residents of Quadeville say they still have unanswered questions about the violent attack on an eight-year-old girl that recently rocked their quiet community.

The meeting, held at the Quadeville Community Centre, drew dozens of concerned locals seeking updates and reassurance following the disturbing incident. Police said they organized the session to provide clarity and hear from residents directly, but cited a publication ban and ongoing investigation as reasons they couldn’t disclose key details.

While some attendees expressed appreciation for the police presence and transparency under difficult legal constraints, others left frustrated by the lack of specific answers about the status of the investigation, public safety measures, and what led to the attack.

“We understand there are things they can’t say,” said one local parent, “but that doesn’t make it easier to sleep at night.”

The OPP reaffirmed its commitment to the case, urging patience as investigators work through the legal process. The force also promised continued community engagement and updates as soon as information becomes available.

The attack has left the village of Quadeville shaken, with residents calling for justice, safety reassurances, and better communication from authorities in the weeks ahead.
