Former Alberta school principal Neil Barry failed to make his court appearance on August 10.
Barry was scheduled to appear to give an undertaking (a legally-binding promise) to the court related to charges he faces for two counts of sexual assault and exploitation for an incident in 2009.
Barry, who was charged in High Prairie, AB on June 15, worked in the Northwest Territories between 2007 and 2017. In that time he was a sports coach in Fort Simpson and Tulita while travelling to other NWT communities.
He is also known to have been involved with selecting players for Arctic Winter Games teams during that time.
The incident is believed to have occurred in Yellowknife the summer of 2009 at tryouts for the 2010 AWG.
Barry moved to High Prairie in 2017 where he continued working with the High Prairie school district.
Judge Gurmail Gill issued a warrant for Barry’s arrest. A new court date will be set when Barry is back in custody.
The charges against Barry have not been proven in court.
