Montreal police will travel to British Columbia today to pick up the suspect wanted in connection with a fire that damaged one of the country's only clinics to perform gender-confirming surgery.

The Centre Métropolitain de Chirurgie was set on fire in early May, forcing the cancellation of multiple surgeries at the clinic.

Jayne Ellen Heideck, 42, was arrested by the RCMP in Kelowna early Monday morning following a Canada-wide warrant for her arrest.

Montreal police Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant said members of his police force had been in touch with Heideck while she was in Kelowna.

Brabant said she turned herself in at the RCMP office.

Heideck will be charged with arson, he said.

The CMC, a private medical centre, offers various cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries including gender-confirming surgery, also known as gender-reassignment surgery.
