Carr’s Landing Ward Coun. Matt Vader has resigned his seat on city council to accept a staff position with the municipality.
Vader is the new manager of Strategic & Support Services with the District of Lake Country.
His role begins on April 10.
“The creation of a Manager of Strategic and Support Services position was approved by a previous council in 2010 and then put on hold due to the Business Systems Review,” Mayor James Baker said in a news release.
The position was posted in February and 45 applications were received.
Matt Vader holds a bachelor of management degree, a diploma in business administration and is completing a professional certificate in local government management.
Due to the vacancy left on council, a byelection will be held as soon as possible for the Carr’s Landing ward.
A byelection is also being arranged in the Oyama ward to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Owen Dickie in early March.
Both byelections will be held on June 24.
