City of Kimberley Welcomes Two New Staff Members to the Planning Department
The City of Kimberley is pleased to announce the addition of two new members to its Planning Services Department. Justin Cook returns to the City in the newly created role of Senior Planner, while Max Garvey joins as the Planning Technician.
Justin Cook brings a passion for planning and a wealth of experience to his new position, having previously worked as a Planner at the Regional District of East Kootenay for two years, at the City of Kimberley before that and at the Town of Caledon, Ontario. Justin holds a graduate degree in Planning from the University of Waterloo and an undergraduate degree from Simon Fraser University. His first priorities will be updating the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws, with a focus on addressing the housing issues facing Kimberley today. The public will soon learn about ways to get involved in this important process.
Max Garvey joins the City of Kimberley after completing his undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia and gaining experience with the District of North Vancouver and UBC Forestry. Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Max is eager to contribute to the community and support the Planning Department's initiatives.
"We are thrilled to welcome Justin and Max to our team," said Troy Pollock, Manager of Planning and Sustainability. "Their expertise and dedication will be invaluable as we work towards creating a sustainable and vibrant future for Kimberley."
Stay tuned for updates on the public engagement process for the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaw reviews. The entire Planning team looks forward to community input through the spring and summer months.
