The province has announced Roger Bouvier has been appointed as the Administrator for the Rural Municipality of Ritchot.

Last week, Jackie Hunt resigned as Mayor, while councillors Jeannot Robert and Ron Mamchuk also stepped down. That meant Ritchot no longer had quorum of council.

The existing council and Chief Administrative Officer are deemed to have resigned from office by way of the appointment of an Administrator under the Municipal Act.

The province has announced that the existing CAO will be immediately rehired and the Administrator will call a by-election as quickly as possible to elect a new council.

Among other positions, Bouvier worked as CAO in the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie until 2015.
