Episode 32: No small tasks with Mike Murray
Manage episode 315542160 series 3234298
We've got Mike Murray back for the last episode of season 2. Mike came to the Region of Waterloo from private business in 1992. After having worked alongside municipalities, and realizing that he wanted to be one of those guys involved in making significant decisions impacting the community, he jumped right into the thick of it initially as the manager of engineering, planning, and water resource protection. He would go on to become the Chief Administrative Officer in 2004 and stayed in that position until 2020. During that time, he worked on many matters relevant to the development of the community. Some high profile projects included the region's resource water protection strategy and rural water quality program, creating the Waterloo Region Tourism Marketing Corporation and the Economic Development Corporation.
No small tasks considering you need to convince seven municipalities to come on board.
He shares his insights on the Syrian refugee resettlement program, the region's consumption and treatment facility, and, of course, the granddaddy of them all — the region's rapid transit system.
