“I have had the privilege to work with Bryan for over 20 years. Without hesitation, I can say he is the classiest, most humble, kind, and thoughtful person I have ever worked with,” said Sheridan Graham, County CAO. “He has worn many hats over the years, serving as EMS Chief, head of Economic Development, Planning, GIS and most recently, Public Works. In all his roles, Bryan has led his teams with his heart.”

According to Graham, Weir is known for his unwavering staff support and has been entrusted with numerous leadership roles due to his exceptional ability to inspire and guide.

“Staff trust him, respect him, and genuinely like him. His leadership has fostered a supportive and cohesive environment,” she said. “While we are all sad to see him retire, we are grateful for the strong foundation he has built. He has grown, trained and nurtured staff to ensure a smooth transition, demonstrating true leadership.”

Iain Mudd was appointed the new Director of Planning, Development and Public Works, effective on Sept. 6.

“I really can’t believe how fortunate I am to have been, first, hired by the County, and second, able to enjoy such a fulfilling and rewarding career,” said Weir. “I find it hard to describe the feeling of being able to come to work each day and know that my day will be good no matter what happens and it’s entirely due to the extraordinary people and support I have experienced both at the staff level and Council level. I would like to thank the County for its faith and trust when considering my involvement.”
