The RM of Woodlands is on the hunt for a new finance manager. Reeve Trevor King explains the position.

"We have our current finance clerk, I guess is what her title would be and she is retiring in December. We are hoping to fill that position and we want to enhance it to be an actual finance manager for the municipality."

He notes some changes to the job qualifications will be made due to the transition from finance clerk to manager.

"I think it will be someone up to help with the budget and things along those lines. That would be one of the major qualifications for that job. Just more help for the CAO with the budget and keeping the finances of the municipality in line."

King says they would like to hire someone sooner rather than later to help make the transition smoother when the current clerk retires. He notes the position is officially open and will be more than happy to fill the position when the qualified candidate applies.
