We will be making some changes to our organizational structure over the next several months.
With upcoming retirements and current senior staff vacancies, we are taking the opportunity to realign responsibilities across departments to improve efficiency and meet future service demands.
This change will not cut jobs or employees. In fact, most employees will see little to no impact on their day-to-day work.
Please take a look at the right side of this page for answers to some frequently asked questions, and a visual of the updated organizational chart.
We will keep this space updated as we move through this process. If you have additional questions, please talk to your supervisor or post your question below and we'll get back to you.
Update on Organizational Changes
Further to the announcement in early January relating to upcoming changes to our organizational structure, I wanted to let you know the transition is proceeding on target.
The recruitment for a new CAO is well underway. Mayor Lefebvre and a Committee of Council have met with candidates for a first-round interview and are in the process of finalizing candidate selection.
The posting for General Manager of Community Infrastructure has closed and shortlisting is underway with interviews to begin shortly.
The posting for General Manager of Growth, Development and Environmental Sustainability is open until February 28. Shortlisting and interviews will be scheduled following that date.
The General Manager of Emergency Services and Community Wellbeing will be posted in the coming weeks.
As the General Managers are recruited and in place, the other organizational changes within those departments will begin. In the case of Emergency Services and Community Wellbeing, this includes the posting of Chief positions for both Fire Services and Emergency Services.

Hi I have a question regarding hiring for the new position. Will it go out to an external hire and will external candidates get fair shot at those positions?

Yes, all positions will be posted both internally and externally.
When and how will this impact controlled documents and forms going forward? Will everything need to be updated with new Division and section name right away or whenever they are next reviewed? And when should we be updating email signatures etc? Are the changes coming into effect immediately?

Hi there, thanks for your question.
You do not need to change forms, documents or email signatures right away. These changes will be phased in over the next several months.
Department names will be changing as new General Managers are hired. For areas moving to a new department and reporting to a new GM, that change will also happen over the next three to four months, with a goal of having the new structure complete and in place by April.
We will share more information with directly affected areas as details are finalized. Until then, things are status quo.
Thank you for your contribution!
