The Village of Keremeos has found a new chief administrative officer in Janette Van Vianen. 

Vianen will be taking over from interim CAO Diane Vaykovich, who stepped into the position after the village's previous CAO Marg Coulson left at the start of August.

"Council is delighted to welcome Janette Van Vianen to the Village of Keremeos," said Mayor Jason Wiebe. "Her experience in local government is what council was seeking in our recruitment process.

"We are confident Janette will be a good fit with our priorities in providing exceptional service delivery to our residents."

Vianen will take over officially as CAO on Nov. 4. 

In a press release, the village praised her extensive municipal government experience, including working as a corporate officer and in human resources for the Towns of Osoyoos and Oliver. 

The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen assisted the Village of Keremeos in their search for a new CAO.
