The City of Williams Lake is pleased to announce the hiring of Ross Coupé as the City’s Corporate Officer. Ross was born and raised in Williams Lake and returns to the city after spending the past 10 years with the Corporate Services department of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality in Fort Nelson.
Ross has a BA in Political Science from the University of Northern B.C. and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the University of Victoria. His main focus as the City’s Corporate Officer will be to lead the City’s corporate services team and support Mayor and Council with effective and timely procedural and legislative advice.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ross as the City’s new Corporate Officer,” said CAO Milo Macdonald. “Not only does he bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role but he has a familiarity with the city itself, having grown up here. It’s a real coup for the City to have someone like Ross on the team.” Ross, who took on the role effective May 11, 2020, said he was drawn back to Williams Lake by the dynamic work being done by the City and because it’s a great place to raise a family. He is married with two small boys.
