Mayor Neil Driscoll announced two staffing changes at the March 8 council meeting.
Driscoll noted that, like the Toronto Maple Leafs, the township “has been in a rebuilding year” during 2016, as a new CAO and public works director have already been appointed.
“Unlike the Leafs we’ve actually been successful,” said Driscoll, pointing out the municipality was able to promote from within to hire a new economic development officer.
Jaclyn Dingwall, currently a public works department administration assistant for the township, was hired for the position.
Dingwall, who has a bachelor of arts from Wilfrid Laurier University has also worked in Mapleton’s clerks and building departments.
“So there wasn’t a job that we could offer to Jaclyn that she couldn’t do,” said Driscoll.
Also introduced at the meeting was new building inspector/plans examiner Dan Swedlo.
Driscoll said Swedlo, a former chief building official for the Township of Chatsworth, has 11 years experience in the construction industry, most recently as a general contractor.
