A West Nipissing integrity probe closed after mayor and councillor admitted misconduct post-council meeting.
The Integrity Commissioner for West Nipissing has closed a complaint by former CAO Jay Barbeau against Mayor Kathleen Thorne-Rochon and Councillor Georges Pharand, following a September 2, 2025, council meeting.
The probe examined a delayed email response and remarks made by Pharand about Barbeau’s impending retirement, as well as the mayor’s raised voice during a confrontation.
Both officials acknowledged their conduct was inappropriate, with the mayor taking full responsibility and Pharand expressing regret.
The commissioner found no grounds for further action but recommended both receive training on staff relations policy, concluding the file should be closed.
