Town's New CAO starts August 18

The Town of Peace River issued a news release on Monday to announce the hiring of our new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Norma MacQuarrie. She will start on August 18 and we're all excited that she decided to come to Peace River. Her education (an MBA) and 25 years of work experience in local government (most recently in the Town of Beaumont) will be a great asset to the Town.

Norma herself indicates that she has "a passion" for local government and notes that "Peace River holds great potential in terms of growth opportunities." She says that she is "very excited about participating in the strategic planning process that the Town has started [and is] looking forward to working with the Council and staff of the Town of Peace River, carrying on with initiatives that have recently started."

And the runners in town will be glad to know they have another marathoner in their midst, as that is one of Norma's leisure activities.

Welcome, Norma!

Hey, congratulations Leslie! It's nice to see that we are all at full strength now! Well, technically here in GP we now have a Director of Community Development position open ... but you know what I mean.

I know the process isn't easy so again, congrats!
