City of Powell River outgoing chief administrative officer Lisa Bhopalsingh was recognized at the April 17 City of Powell River Council meeting. She was presented with a large bouquet of flowers at the beginning of the meeting.
Mayor Ron Woznow said Bhopalsingh has been doing wonderful things for the city.
Councillor George Doubt said the city has had somebody with them, Bhopalsingh, the CAO, who has been part of the city’s team for more than a year.
“I just want to say that I appreciate what you have done to stick with the city, and for the city, in the short time you’ve been here,” said Doubt. “I wish it could have been longer because I think everybody could get together to work better as a team over a longer period of time. I want to recognize this is going to be your last meeting here at city council of Powell River.
“I want to say thank you and recognize the hard work you have done and the difficult position that you have been in to try to bring everything together. Thank you from me, and I’m guessing that council agrees with me.”
Bhopalsingh is returning to City of Nanaimo, where she worked before becoming Powell River’s CAO.
