i am looking for a canadian legal case where non-pecuniary general damages, or aggravated, or punitive damages were awarded to a resident or student at some sort of institution (such as a group home or residential school) for abuse/assault that was non-sexual in nature. for example, any instances where the abuse was something like spraying them with water, dragging them around forcefully, and using harsh or demeaning language.

For your inquiry into Canadian case law involving non-pecuniary general damages or aggravated/punitive damages for non-sexual abuse, you might want to explore cases related to residential schools or group homes. These cases often address issues of physical and emotional abuse. A notable case is "Blackwater v. Plint," which involves non-sexual abuse in a residential school setting.
