It is the CAO's responsibility to ensure that innovative programs and services are developed and implemented to meet the ever-changing needs of the community, while ensuring fiscal responsibility, and the added responsibilities municipalities are faced with. The CAO is responsible for ensuring that Council directives are coordinated between departments and relevant agencies while ensuring that the operations within the organization are conducted within the framework of the values and goals of the corporation. In addition, the CAO links with other government agencies, federal, provincial and municipal, to provide Council with the necessary comprehensive information they require to develop plans and policies.
