Just two weeks after starting the position, Yellowknife City Manager John Collin has tendered his resignation from the City of Yellowknife.
A release from the city Tuesday morning says Collin resigned for personal reasons. Collin, a former city manager of Saint John, New Brunswick, and a 35-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, began his tenure on April 9.
He was hired to address financial issues, foster growth, and develop initiatives to address modern city concerns.
Yellowknife Mayor Rebecca Alty expressed her best wishes for Collin and announced that the council will determine the next steps to fill the position. An interim city manager will be appointed by May 13, which is also Collin’s last day in the post.
