Laurentian Valley, ON.  The Township of Laurentian Valley is pleased to announce the hiring of Mr. Sean Crozier as its new Treasurer/Deputy CAO.

Mr. Crozier comes to the Township after over 5 years in various finance positions at the Township of Whitewater Region. He began his municipal career as Deputy Treasurer in 2017 and was later promoted to Treasurer, with Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) being added to his responsibilities in 2020.

“We are excited to welcome Mr. Crozier to Laurentian Valley,” said CAO Dean Sauriol. “Mr. Crozier is a young professional in the municipal world that has made a profound impact for the Township of Whitewater Region. We are fortunate to have his drive and attention to detail join our LV team.”

LV went through an extensive recruitment process and Mr. Crozier was chosen as the successful candidate and is set to start on March 13th, 2023. Mayor Bennett and council welcome Mr. Crozier to LV and are looking forward to working with him.

While making the decision to leave Whitewater Region was a difficult one, Mr. Crozier is looking forward to joining LV. “The opportunity to work for a new municipality presents new challenges that are exciting to explore. My willingness to learn and further educate myself is important to me and this opportunity provides the platform to grow my skillset and knowledge,” says Crozier. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Whitewater having had the privilege of working with outstanding staff and council, and implementing new projects. I have no doubt they are in a position to further excel and prosper under the direction of their new Mayor, Neil Nicholson and his council.”

The Treasurer/Deputy CAO position in LV became available upon the retirement notice from Charlene Jackson after her 28-year municipal career. Charlene was an asset to LV and has implemented practices that have setup the Township for continued success. We thank her for her dedication and time and wish her the best in her retirement!
