A judge has approved a $10 million settlement to compensate survivors of the 2012 mall collapse in Elliot Lake which killed two women and left 20 others injured.

A subsequent investigation ordered by the government found years of leaking water, road salt infiltration and a lack of maintenance and proper inspections led to the corrosion of supporting steel beams.

Settlements have already been reached with the families of the women killed, Lucie Aylwin and Doloris Perizzolo.
