But Carson, a 21-year vet of the department, told Global News in July he thought he would be coming back to his leading role.
However a press release issued by the Regional District of Central Okanagan states the 19-year chief has handed in his resignation.
There’s no word on what caused the change of heart, but until a new chief is named Doug Gardiner, who has taken on the interim role, will continue to fill the position.
