Marc Casavant has resigned from his role as chair of the Brandon Police Board.
“Mr. Casavant has tendered his resignation from the Police Board. The Vice Chair — Mrs. Deb Arpin, will take over as acting chair until a new citizen representative is appointed to the Board and a new Chair selected,” City of Brandon director of legislative services Heather Ewasiuk wrote in an email.
Casavant was first appointed to the role just over a year ago, in January 2020. His one-year term as chair of the police oversight body was scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2020.
The Brandon Police Board is next scheduled to meet on March 5, when the appointment of a new chair is set to be addressed, Ewasiuk said.
The Sun reported Thursday that Casavant had also stepped aside from his role as superintendent of the Brandon School Division and Mathew Gustafson would be acting in the role.
A spokesperson for the school division said on Friday his absence is due to “personal reasons.”
“As this is a personnel matter, the Brandon School Division will not be providing further any comment,” a statement from the school division reads.
The language of the school division motion indicates Gustafson has held the role since Jan. 4.
