A B.C. woman who is permanently banned from practicing midwifery is facing manslaughter charges related to the death of a newborn infant more than a year ago.

In 1985, Lemay and a colleague were convicted of criminal negligence in the death of a baby boy in Vancouver. That conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada.

In 1995, she was called to a coroners inquest after she assisted in the home birth of a baby boy who died three days later from e-coli the year prior. She was fined for refusing to cooperate with the inquiry.

Lemay is the subject of a permanent court order issued in 2000, which “permanently prohibited and enjoined her from performing services for the purpose of midwifery,” according to the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM).

In 2002 she was jailed for five months for defying a court injunction barring her from practice.

But in a public advisory issued in January 2024, the college said Lemay has continued to hold herself out as a birth attendant and possibly offering midwifery services, despite the ban.
