Bruce County CAO Derrick Thomson says, "On behalf of the entire County, I would like to thank Mark Paoli for his public service and supportive leadership that helped our healthy and strong communities through the challenging times of the pandemic. Mark led initiatives that improved the County's land use planning services and built on the County's strong tourism, agriculture, and energy sectors. We wish Mark well in his new position."
