There’s going to be a change at the administrative level for several municipalities in Renfrew County. The Town of Arnprior has welcomed Bryan Martin as the new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). On Tuesday (August 6th) Martin took part in his last official council meeting with Bonnechere Valley where he has served as CAO for the last 17-years. His first day on the job in Arnprior is on Monday (August 12th). Replacing Martin as the CAO in Bonnechere Valley is Sandra Barr who previously served as the Deputy CAO. Barr will take over the position on a six month interim basis with a review scheduled for November. Martin says he’s been transitioning all the paperwork for Barr so she’s ready when he leaves. Town staff and councillors from Bonnechere Valley wished Martin all the best in his new role and said that Arnprior is getting lucky with the amazing service he’s provided.
