Kim has been serving the position in an interim capacity since November 2022 after the departure of the previous director Mr. Bernard Roy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019On behalf of the Council of Mayors, I am delighted to welcome Kim Lesage to the very important position of Director General of MRC Pontiac. I look forward to working closely with Kim as we work together to revitalize the Pontiac to ensure that we become a more successful region and to improve the quality of life of our residents. Kim really hit the ground running in November as interim DG and has shown all of us that she is a major asset to the MRC Pontiac. I am especially happy because Kim works so well with everyone and has a true passion for the Pontiac\u2019\u2019, said Jane Toller, Warden of the MRC Pontiac.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019I am very excited to have this opportunity after working at the MRC for almost 5 years as a director and engineer. As with my engineering work, I will strive for excellence of the services we offer and provide leadership to our partners, citizens and staff. I also look forward to working closely with our elected officials. I believe that with teamwork and a positive dynamic, we will continue to serve our community with quality services. Together we will move forward to progress and vitalize the Pontiac \u2013 our home\u2019\u2019, expressed Lesage.<\/p>\n<p>Kim will continue to hold the position of Director of Engineering and Infrastructure until a replacement can be found. She plans to oversee the department for the year ahead as there are many major infrastructure projects taking place across several municipalities in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The MRC staff would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Kim for this important milestone in her career and look forward to working with her for years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211; 30 &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Litchfield, February 20, 2023 \u2013 Kim Lesage appointed as Director General of the MRC Pontiac Last Wednesday evening, February 15, 2023, the Regional Council of Mayors proudly announced the appointment of Ms. Kim Lesage as Director General of the MRC Pontiac.
