After approximately ten years as the City’s General Manager of Finance, Estelle Lo has decided to tender her resignation.  She has guided the City through significant changes, and we thank her for her dedicated service to the City.

We wish her the very best in her future endeavours.

Until Ms. Lo’s position is permanently filled, James Ridge will be providing oversight of the department.
