Lou and Linda Van De Vorst were dismayed to learn that the woman who wiped out four members of their family while driving drunk last winter was transferred to a federal healing lodge shortly after being sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The Van De Vorsts, whose son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren died in the Jan. 3, 2016 crash north of Saskatoon, said they learned from Correctional Service Canada (CSC) that Catherine Loye McKay was moved to the lodge about a month after her sentencing.

“I’m frustrated and angry and upset and hurt, definitely,” Lou Van De Vorst said. “It takes the focus away from the victim and puts it all on Catherine McKay. It doesn’t show any kind of consequence to her actions whatsoever.”

McKay, 49, pleaded guilty in June 2016 to four counts of impaired driving causing death in connection with the collision that killed Jordan, 34; Chanda, 33; Kamryn, five; and two-year-old Miguire Van De Vorst.
