We have seen a significant amount of change during this term of Council as well as the adoption of two master plans that are critical to the future of Lakeshore. Tyson’s vision and leadership align perfectly with our strategic goals and the work that lies ahead. We look forward to the impact he will have on our team and our communities,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “I would also like to extend a sincere thank you, from Council and our residents, for the work of our Interim CAO, Justin Rousseau. Justin provided steady leadership to our team throughout this period, and we look forward to his continued contributions to our organization as Chief Financial Officer.”
