A former Victoria high school teacher has agreed never to teach again after it was found he had asked a student to help send text messages to an ex-girlfriend he had been convicted of harassing.

By signing a consent resolution agreement, which was filed earlier this month, Francesco Gabriel Canacari has agreed he will never apply for or seek a teaching certificate to work again at a public or private school in B.C., and that the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation is required not to issue a certificate or letter of permission to Canacari. He also acknowledges in the agreement that his conduct was unprofessional and not in line with professional teaching standards.

In 2013, Canacari was convicted of stalking two different women, both of whom were ex-girlfriends. He was found to have entered the women’s homes on different occasions without permission and, in one of the cases, also stole underwear.
