James (Jamie) Fawthrop is the new South Glengarry Chief Administrative Officer, becoming the fifth person in ten years to fill the position.
The City of Cornwall’s General Manager of Planning, Development and Recreation, Fawthrop will start his new job September 23.
He replaces Doug Robertson, who was let go in May. Since then Fire Chief Dave Robertson has been acting CAO.
Doug Robertson had replaced Tim Mills in 2023; Mills had replaced Bryan Brown in 2019; Brown had succeeded Derik Brandt in 2014.
There have been several changes at town hall in recent months.
Fawthrop seems to be moving quickly to improve the work environment.
The township has advised that the office will be closing early this Friday, September 6, at 11:30 a.m. for a staff team-building event.
