Georgina, ON - The Town of Georgina is pleased to announce that David Reddon has been appointed to lead the Town as its next Chief Administrative Officer. Mr. Reddon has more than 38 years of municipal experience working in various business areas of the Town.
“Having David Reddon as our new CAO just made sense for Council,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk. “Growing up in the community he is so passionate about, combined with his extensive municipal knowledge and genuine respect for our taxpayers, both our community and staff are fortunate to have David at the helm.”
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that the current Flood Watch remains in place due the forecasted rainfall across the watershed through this week and weekend.
Lake Simcoe Water Level
The water levels in Lake Simcoe are high, but are stable. The outflow from the lake is maximized and the forecast rainfall and runoff may cause the lake level to remain high. The high lake levels, when induced by strong winds may pose additional threats to shoreline areas and adjacent structures.
