In the meantime, the former Director of Parks and Recreation (Lisa Burroughs) will move to a part-time position as Project Manager to oversee the completion of renovations at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre. Champlain Township Mayor Normand Riopel said it made sense to transition the supervision of the work to someone who had already been following the project.
