MRC Pontiac Director General departs, effective immediately

On Friday afternoon (November 4), MRC Pontiac announced the departure of their Director General Bernard Roy, effective today. Roy started at the office in May 2016 as the assistant DG, and rose to his current position in July 2017, switching roles with the DG at the time, Gabriel Lance, who eventually departed in May 2019.

In a press release, Roy stated that the decision was a personal one and he had chosen to move on to new ventures.

“I came to the MRC Pontiac in 2016 with a background of experience previously gained in other organizations. Working with you has also been a learning experience,” he wrote. “I am now at a point where it is time for me to pack up my experience and move on to other challenges. It is therefore by mutual agreement with the elected officials that I am leaving the general management of the MRC Pontiac and passing the torch. I am proud to have contributed to a renewed, involved, supportive and tightly knit management team. I am also proud to have fostered respectful, friendly and positive relationships with all MRC employees. I leave behind a wonderful team. A team at the MRC that is full of competent, dedicated and committed employees. I will keep an excellent memory of it. Thank you for your welcome over 6 years ago. Thank you for having trusted me over the years. Keep up the good work!”

“I would like to thank Bernard Roy on behalf of the Council of Mayors for his years of hard work and dedication,” Warden Jane Toller wrote in the press release. “I have appreciated working together with him especially on the revitalization of the Pontiac. We wish him every success for the future.”
