André Morin is City of Stratford’s new CAO

The search for a new chief administrative officer for the City of Stratford is over.

André Morin will take over the city’s top administrative post on Sept. 2.

Morin, a Stratford resident, has been director of corporate services/treasurer for the Town of St. Marys since 2019.

Stratford City Council approved his appointment at a special meeting on Monday.

The city said Morin brings extensive municipal experience including chief administrative officer for the Town of Atikokan from 2008-2012, and director of corporate services/treasurer with the City of Stratford from 2012-2017.

He was interim CAO in Stratford in 2016.

Stratford Mayor Martin Ritsma said he is pleased to welcome Morin to his new position and “we are looking forward to his leadership.”

Ritsma thanked former CAO Joan Thomson for 40 years of service to the city, and director of building and planning Adam Betteridge, for his service as interim CAO over the last five months.
