It is the end of an era at Town Hall.

Monday marked the final town council meeting for outgoing chief administrative officer John Enns-Wind.

Enns-Wind is taking on a new role as chief administrative officer in Grand Bay-Westfield, New Brunswick. His official departure of his position in Battleford takes effect at the end of July, but his last actual day on the job is next week.

At a town council meeting Monday, councillors thanked Enns-Wind for his time in the role.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you, John, and we are definitely going to miss you,” said Councillor Susan McLean-Tady. “You have accomplished a lot here in your short time here. We wish you all the best in the future.”

“Good luck, John, with your new adventure in the East,” said Councillor Judy Pruden.

“Thank you for your wisdom and your guidance with our whole admin team and management team,” said Councillor Doug Laing. “Thank you for everything and good luck out East... now we have somewhere to visit out East to see the Maritimes.”

“I want to thank you for the last four years,” said Mayor Ames Leslie. “You were green in your position, I was green in my position. I think we grew well as a team. I think New Brunswick is getting a strong asset.”

Mayor Leslie then presented Enns-Wind with a going-away present — a framed picture of Town Hall.
