The Rural Municipality of Cornwallis has hired a permanent chief administrative officer, ending a stretch of more than three years without one.
Teri Scaife officially started in the new position in late November, having previously held CAO positions in towns in Saskatchewan.
“I am honoured to accept the role of chief administrative officer with the RM of Cornwallis,” Scaife said in a news release on Tuesday.

“This opportunity holds deep meaning for me as my father’s family is originally from Manitoba. I look forward to planting my roots in this province that they once called home.”
Last May, then acting reeve Terry Ross said Cornwallis had been looking for a permanent CAO for three years, and that it was a focus for the RM.
The RM, which had been without a reeve since April, said it would hire a CAO before scheduling a byelection. The Dec. 3 byelection was called in September, two months before Scaife was hired.
Scaife said she is looking forward to the future and “to serve the best interests for the RM of Cornwallis.”
“This RM has showed strength and resilience these last few years, and to have the opportunity to continue moving it forward in a positive way is a privilege that I don’t take for granted,” Scaife said.
Scaife most recently worked as a senior accounting technician for Brown LLP. She was the CAO in the towns of Spiritwood and Wolseley in Saskatchewan from 2007 to 2014.
Delays with hiring a new CAO meant the RM was without a reeve until early December.
Reeve Mike Waddell, who won the byelection, said Scaife has had a “great start” with the RM.
“Miss Scaife brings a lot of experience to the table, and a set of fresh eyes that is a very good thing,” Waddell said in a phone interview.
“Very excited about the stability that is already coming into play and she is a big part of that.”
At the November meeting when Scaife was appointed, council thanked then acting CAO Holly Krysko for her time and effort with the RM. Krysko is still working for the RM during a transition period.
