Salmon Arm council and city staff welcomed a new person to their administration team on Jan. 12. The city’s new manager of human resources is Kim Trace.
Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, told council of her long list of credentials, including being the former HR manager for the Greater Victoria School District as well as holding similar positions at Camoson College and the University of Victoria.
He said he told Trace that it doesn’t snow much more in Salmon Arm than Victoria, yet her first day was Monday, Jan. 5, the first day of Salmon Arm’s two-day record snowfall.
“I’m not sure that she believes me,” he smiled.
