The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) officially launched its new term Nov. 10 at its inaugural board meeting.
Following the swearing-in ceremony, directors elected Tim McGonigle as board chair and Jesse McClinton as vice chair for the coming year.
The same directors will also serve on the Cowichan Valley Regional Hospital District board during the next 12-month term.
“I am honoured to serve as chair of the Cowichan Valley Regional District and Hospital District and to work with my fellow directors on behalf of the communities we represent,” McGonigle said. “Together, we will focus on delivering reliable services, supporting resilient and healthy communities, protecting our natural environment and ensuring the Cowichan region remains a great place to live, work and experience.”
As chair, McGonigle will oversee board meetings, establish standing committee appointments and help guide the board’s work throughout the year.
