Ontario Premier Doug Ford has named Patrick Sackville as his new chief of staff.


Sackville, his former principal secretary, brings knowledge of the province’s energy and infrastructure sectors to the role, a statement from Ford’s office released Friday says.


“Since day one of our government, Patrick has been a constant source of support and leadership as he’s successfully stickhandled some of the most pressing and challenging files,” Ford said.

James Wallace, a former Toronto Sun editor and the individual credited by Toronto Life with transforming Ford’s message from “populist blunder to calm command,” will stay on in the premier’s office until Jan. 23 to ease the transition before assuming the role of CEO of Supply Ontario.


“There are no words to express my gratitude to Jamie for his many years of advice, leadership and, most of all, friendship,” Ford said. “He leaves behind an amazing legacy that he should be extremely proud of, including helping to steer Ontario through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m thrilled he’ll be leading Supply Ontario next as he brings the important mission of this agency to life.”

The focus of Supply Ontario, a Crown agency set up by the Ford government, is to make sure the public sector supply chain doesn’t fail as it did at the start of the pandemic with dangerous shortages of protective equipment.
