Niagara-on-the-Lake has hired a new Director of Community and Development Services and she comes with truck-load of municipal experience.
Starting March 28, Kirsten McCauley will be advising Town Council on new policies surrounding the long-term development of the tourist town.
She’ll be dealing with all new (and some existing) land-use policies, development agreements, building permits and everything else the position oversees.
After graduating in 2003 from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor Degree in Environment Studies (Honours Planning), she went to work as a Planner with the town of West Lincoln for three and a half years.
She then jumped to the City of Hamilton for over 10 years – first as a Planner, then as a Recreation Planner before finally becoming a Community Planner.
Finally, she landed back in Niagara Regional headquarters where she began as an Acting Manager of Long Range Planning and then a Senior Planner for Secondary Plans.
