It's a slight shuffling of chairs as the person at the head of CRD Board table announces her appointments for 2017 committee chairs today.
Barb Desjardins will also be making her inaugural address this afternoon. She was re-elected as board chair in a vote in early-December.
Most of her committee chair appointments are consistent with 2016. Among them: Mike Hicks remains chair of the Electoral Area Services and Regional Parks committees, and Lisa Helps stays on as chair of the sewage committee. Dave Howe continues as chair of the Finance Committee; he will also chair the new hospitals and housing committee.
There are some changes. Carol Hamilton replaces Vic Derman as chair of the Environmental Services Committee, and the former Planning, Transportation, and Protective Services Committee has been split into two separate committee. Alice Finall will chair a Planning and Protective Services Committee, and Susan Brice will lead a Transportation Committee.
