Another twist in the very strange saga at the NPCA as an employee is fired, rehired and then given the CAO's position.
The St.Catharines Standard's Grant LeFleche is now reporting that a top manager at the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority fired another, only to be terminated himself by a board of directors who undid his final act in office.
LeFleche says the NPCA is set to announce former Port Colborne Regional Councillor David Barrick, who was fired on November 23rd and reinstated on December 6th and will be the beleaguered agency's next CAO, replacing the man who fired him.
The appointment of Barrick as NPCA CAO caused tension among incoming NPCA board members, who say the outgoing board has no authority since they were replaced by regional council on December 6th.
Here are the new Regional Councilllors appointed to sit on the NPCA board.
