The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of a local community is leaving to take a position at another municipality.
The Municipality of Lakeshore has announced that it has accepted the resignation of CAO Truper McBride. He is leaving Lakeshore next month to take a similar position with the Township of West Lincoln.
"Without question, my proudest accomplishment is the incredible organization that we have built for Lakeshore over the last five years," said McBride. "I have been blessed to have been surrounded and supported by passionate, devoted, and brilliant people. Supporting my staff, while positioning them with the skillsets and capacity the Municipality needs to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the future, has been a true honour."
Mayor Tracey Bailey said Lakeshore turned a corner under McBride's leadership.
"As Chief Administrative Officer, Truper demonstrated unmatched leadership during a critical period in Lakeshore’s history," said Bailey. "He has also helped to set the stage for the next step in Lakeshore’s bright future."
McBride's resignation will take effect on June 25.
Lakeshore Council will begin the process of naming an acting CAO as well as the search for a permanent successor.
