Brian is recently retired from a 21-year career as a local government administrator and is currently providing consulting services to local governments across the province. Brian began his local government career in 2001, serving as a senior manager and CAO for the City of Williams Lake for 11 years. Following that he also served as CAO for Central Kootenay Regional District and Cowichan Valley Regional District. Prior to working in local government, Brian spent 20 years with BC Parks, supervising and managing park operations across BC and in the Cariboo Chilcotin region.
“We had already decided to move back to the Cariboo so this is a great opportunity to get reacquainted with the community and the region.” Mr. Carruthers states. “There are many familiar faces at the CRD and I am really looking forward to supporting the Board and staff as they transition to a new Chief Administrative Officer”.
Having lived and worked in Williams Lake for 19 years, Brian has a strong appreciation for the region and the communities of the Cariboo Regional District. Brian brings extensive experience in regional district administration to this role, as well as a background in supporting, partnering, and collaborating with First Nations communities and community-based agencies.
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome Brian Carruthers as Interim CAO for a 6 month period. Mr. Carruthers brings a wealth of expertise, specifically with Regional Districts',” stated Cariboo Regional District Board Chair Margo Wagner, “This experience will enable him to assist Cariboo RD Deputy CAO Alice Johnston in the day to day running of the CRD and CRD Board activities. Aside from splitting these CAO duties, he will also take the time to evaluate the efficiency of the Cariboo Regional District, assist us in strategic planning in January and he will lend his support in the recruitment of a permanent CAO.”
