NORTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – After more than six years as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the Township of North Glengarry, Daniel Gagnon has announced that he will be stepping down.
Gagnon has been offered and has accepted the job as CAO of Elliot Lake, ON. Gagnon had worked for the municipality of Elliot Lake prior to coming to North Glengarry in 2011. There he had held positions in Economic Development, recreation and CAO.
“I’ve had a great opportunity to work with a wonderful staff and council,” said Gagnon in an interview with Seaway News. “Its a lifestyle choice. I’m going back to my roots in Northern Ontario.”
North Glengarry Deputy Mayor Jamie MacDonald wished Gagnon the best going forward.
““Dan is returning home to his roots after a very successful tenure here,” he said in a statement. “He was a valued team member and instrumental in driving positive changes to the community that will be in place for decades to come like the Maxville water project and the Community Improvement Plan. We are sad to see him go but understand his motivation and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
Gagnon’s tenure as CAO of North Glengarry will end on Dec. 31 and he will begin his new position in Elliot Lake on Jan. 2.
The Township of North Glengarry has yet to name a successor or interim replacement, stating that such details will be forthcoming in the near future.
