City of Brampton issues apology to former Chief Administrative Officer David Barrick

The City unreservedly apologizes to Mr. Barrick for the unfounded investigations and associated confidentiality and personal privacy breaches he experienced during his tenure with the City.

The result of the independent third party investigations exonerated Mr. Barrick and confirmed he was in full compliance with the City’s policies, procedures, and all Bylaws.  The City appreciates Mr. Barrick’s unwavering professionalism and fulsome cooperation during those processes.
 
The City of Brampton apologizes for the events that occurred leading up to and following Mr. Barrick's departure from the City and regrets the reputational harm Mr. Barrick has experienced as a result.
 
The City would like to reiterate its gratitude to Mr. Barrick for his delivery of unprecedented investments in Brampton, and his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which time the City was independently recognized by Forbes and Macleans as one of Canada’s Top Employers and Canada’s Best Communities.
 
The City would welcome David back in a suitable position but he has decided to engage in other opportunities. As such, the City offers its best wishes for his future success.
