The Town of Battleford says chief administrative officer (CAO) Todd Francis is no longer employed by the municipality, ending a tenure that began just over a year ago.
In a brief statement issued Monday, Mayor Ames Leslie said Francis’ departure is effective immediately and stems from an internal decision of council.
“Consistent with our policies and in accordance with applicable employment and privacy standards, the Town of Battleford will not be disclosing further information regarding this personnel matter,” Leslie stated.
Francis joined the Battleford administration last October after serving as CAO in smaller communities in British Columbia. Originally from Ontario’s Waterloo Region, he spent much of his professional career in Oakville, Ont., and later worked in the Northwest Territories.
