Council appoints remaining members to Calgary’s Water Utility Oversight Board

Council’s appointment of four members to Calgary’s Water Utility Oversight Board (The Board) marks an important milestone in strengthening independent oversight of Calgary’s water utility. Kate Chisholm, Corey Goulet, Edward McCauley and Kim Sturgess will join Stephen Stanley, who was named the inaugural Chair last month. These appointments complete the five-member board being established in response to recommendations from the Bearspaw South Feedermain Independent Review Panel. “We were looking for people who would bring different perspectives to the table, work effectively together and understand the important governance role of the WUOB,” said Steve Stanley, Board Chair. “Together, we have the breadth of experience needed to provide thoughtful, independent advice while keeping a clear focus on the long-term reliability and sustainability of Calgary’s water utility.” The members were selected through a skills-based recruitment process supported by an external recruitment firm. It focused on finding individuals with experience in governance, regulatory environments, engineering, critical utility operations, finance, risk management, environmental science and executive utility lead
