The seats on the LaCloche OPP Detachment board established for the Espanola and North Shore Corridor late last year have now been filled and policies put in place as they begin their work in 2025.
The board is made up of representatives of all four LaCloche Foothill municipalities including Espanola Mayor Doug Gervais as chair, Merri-Ann Hobbs as vice-chair, and Tim Weatherley, Wayne Austin, Bert McDowell and Robert Towns.
The executive is rounded out by Joseph Burke as executive assistant with the Town of Espanola agreeing to provide 10 hours of work in that capacity, and the town also agreed to provide payroll and financial reporting.
The four councils: Espanola, Sables-Spanish Rivers, Baldwin and Nairn & Hyman, have also put a remuneration, travel and training package in place for the board members.
Their next meeting will be held in late March.
