The hunt is over and Delia has appointed a new CAO.
It has been a struggle for the village to fill the role, but now Lena Beninger has been appointed CAO.
“I am looking forward to it,” Beninger tells the Mail.
She has municipal experience working for the City of North Battleford and the Town of Hafford, Saskatchewan.
“I am looking forward to learning what is happening there and trying to encourage growth in the village,“ she said.
She currently resides in Hanna, since February.
“Getting to know the people is the first thing I want to do, what they are looking for and the concerns they have, and help them out that way,” she said.
She has learned there is good community spirit in the village.
“I know I am going to have a lot of things to learn, but I know it is just a matter of getting in there and doing it,” she said.
It has been a long time coming for the village, most recently since Rudolf Liebenberg resigned in May of 2022. He was hired to replace Tracy Breese who resigned in June 2021.
Bill Wulff has been acting as interim CAO during this search.
