Ontario Centre of Forensic Sciences



Ontario's Centre of Forensic Sciences is a forensic science facility operated by the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services within the Government of Ontario. The Centre conducts scientific investigations in cases involving injury or death in unusual circumstances and in crimes against persons or property.

The central laboratory is located in Toronto and a second laboratory is in Sault Ste. Marie.

The center was involved in the wrongful conviction of Guy Paul Morin. As a consequence of this event and the subsequent Kauffmann inquiry into this conviction, wholesale changes in the operation, quality assurance and accreditation at the Centre were implemented.

The international reputation of the CFS led to its selection as the first lab to perform post-execution DNA testing in a U.S. capital murder case (State of Virginia v. Roger Coleman).
