The Town of Comox is welcoming a new finance director to start in mid-February.
Edward Henley will be taking on the role and joins Comox with a “wealth” of experience in local government, financial management and strategic planning.
The town adds he previously served as the director of corporate services and treasurer for Bruce County, Ontario and the director of financial services for the District of Tofino.
“We are thrilled to welcome Edward Henley to the Town of Comox as our new director of finance,” said CAO Jordan Wall.
“His extensive experience in municipal finance will be invaluable as a mentor to our ambitious finance team, and his leadership will continue to provide oversight to manage our financial resources effectively in support of the town’s strategic plan.”
The town adds Henley has over 15 years of experience in local government and holds the designations as a Chartered Professional Accountant and a Certified Management Accountant.
Henley says he is excited to join the town as the relocation puts him closer to family.
“I’m looking forward to my new role with the Town of Comox, becoming part of the community and gaining deeper insights into the Town’s internal organizational systems and processes,” said Henley.
“I am motivated to support the team as we look to enhance and make recommendations to modernize systems and processes that will successfully set us up for future opportunities and sustainable growth.”
