Officials with the Ge-Da-Gi-Binez Youth Centre in Fort Frances and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services are reviewing an incident that led to five youths assaulting two staff members.
A Ministry spokesperson says it happened Wednesday evening in the recreation yard.
One of the staff members required medical attention.
OPP were called to have the youth involved placed in their rooms before a decision was made to transport them and another youth who was not part of the altercation to Thunder Bay leaving the centre empty.
Ministry spokesperson Anne Smith says centre staff and Ministry personnel are currently meeting to discuss a possible return of the youth back to the Fort Frances centre in the near future.
The centre opened at the end of March.
