High-Risk Offender Collin Dennis Ayorech Placed Under Strict Court Restrictions in Calgary
Collin Dennis Ayorech, a high-risk offender recently released from prison in Calgary, has been ordered to spend the next 18 months under strict court-imposed conditions. Justice Harry Van Harten approved a Criminal Code peace bond following a joint submission by Crown and defence counsel. The restrictions aim to protect public safety and support Ayorech's rehabilitation. Key conditions include electronic monitoring by the Calgary Police Service’s High Risk Offender Program, a nightly curfew, a ban on alcohol and recreational drugs, and a prohibition on contacting his previous victim, Dawn Warden. Ayorech must also remain at least 1,000 metres away from Warden, whom he brutally attacked in 2020, resulting in an eight-year sentence that was reduced to five and a half years with credit for time served. The judge warned that breaching these conditions could result in imprisonment, potentially at the maximum-security Kent Institution in British Columbia. This legal development follows a public warning issued by police upon Ayorech's release in February 2026, highlighting ongoing community safety concerns regarding his reintegration into society.
