Peel Regional Police have arrested and charged the former president of Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) Local 228 after an investigation revealed the alleged misappropriation of more than $100,000 in union funds.
The probe began when the union uncovered financial irregularities through an internal review and alerted police. On September 19, 2025, investigators arrested 41-year-old Mark Babcook of Toronto, who now faces charges of Fraud Over $5,000 and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.
Babcook was released under strict conditions and is set to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.
