Peterborough City Council has announced that it has appointed Allan Seabrooke as the new chief administrative officer of the Corporation of the City of Peterborough effective June 8, 2015.

“Mr. Seabrooke has an excellent track record of leadership and innovation, in both the public and private sector,” Mayor Bennett said in a media release. “His existing, positive relationships within the Corporation of the City of Peterborough, with organizations throughout our community and with the County of Peterborough will help ensure a seamless transition.”

Mr. Seabrooke brings more than 25 years of experience in executive positions in municipal and provincial government as well as a private-sector business background. He is joining the city from the City of Waterloo, where he served as the commissioner of community services overseeing services including fire rescue, bylaw enforcement, environment and parks, recreation and facilities, and community programming and outreach.

From 2011-2013, Mr. Seabrooke served as chief administrative officer of the Otonabee Region Conservation Authority, an organization that delivers programs and ensures compliance with legislation and regulation for a watershed region encompassing 1,951 square kilometres across eight municipalities in the Peterborough region.

“I am excited to return to the City of Peterborough and look forward to working with staff, Council, our residents, community and business organizations as we continue to build a strong community,” Mr. Seabrooke said.
