WHAT YOU’LL BRING: INSPIRATION + COLLABORATION
The CAO will report directly to Mayor and Council and will manage the day-to-day activities of the District in accordance with the Community Charter and related legislation. In this role, you will provide timely advice and guidance to Council and under their direction ensure that all programs and services are carried out effectively. You will liaise with stakeholders, other municipalities and levels of government on key projects affecting the District and ensure that all major policies and initiatives are communicated to the broader community. With your lived experience in either the public or private sector, you will guide and support the District as you:
- Lead with integrity: you are an authentic, self-aware, trusted and trusting individual who creates and fosters strong relationships.
- Actively develop others: you coach, mentor, inspire and motivate individuals while developing and effectively delegating to distinct teams.
- Deliver service excellence: you provide a servant leadership style that focusses on a community- and people- first philosophy. You have experience in breaking down barriers, taking responsible risks, leading change, and managing resources.
- Communicate exceptionally: you seek first to understand and then guide others with outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
- Drive strategic orientation: you are politically astute and visionary. You promote and assist others to connect with strategic priorities and vision using “big picture” and innovative thinking.
- Build organizational community: you are a collaborator, an ambassador for organizational culture, a supporter for connecting teams and a cultivator of organizational alignment.
- Exemplify accountability: you inspire agreement, take initiative, hold others accountable, and turn thoughtful ideas into action.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
The District’s ideal candidate will be someone who has as much passion about the community they live in, as they do about the organization itself.

- A university degree in land use planning, engineering, public administration, or in a related discipline relevant to public sector leadership.
- Minimum 10 years progressive experience in a senior leadership role in the public or private sector. Leadership experience in Municipal Government is considered an asset.
