About the Speaker
- In Liam Edward's previous job he was the Executive Director, Infrastructure and Finance, in the Local Government Division of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. He was also Deputy Inspector of Municipalities.
  
  During the past 14 years, Liam has had extensive experience working across all levels of government and gained an in-depth understanding of the current and emerging landscape of local, provincial and federal government processes. In his role as Senior Deputy Inspector of Municipalities, Liam was regularly engaged in multiple challenging issues faced by local governments. He also worked closely with multiple governing boards that support local government operations, which are made up of publicly elected officials and appointed expert members, for both public and private sector organizations. Liam has also played a lead role in negotiating the provincial position for various bilateral and trilateral funding agreements between provincial, federal, and local governments.
  
  Liam has had oversight for the local government financial legislation and policy framework, as well as a statutory approval position of ensuring local governments remain fiscally robust to deliver sustainable services.
  
  “Liam’s innovative, collaborative, and integrity-based leadership style will be very helpful in finding solutions to some of the municipality’s more challenging issues,” said Mayor Gary Ander when announcing Bowen Island's new CAO.
