The Town of Huntsville announced today that Randy Bissonette has been chosen as the municipality’s new Director of Operations following a competitive recruitment process.
According to a media release issued by the municipality, Bissonette is a familiar face with the Town. He was called out of semi-retirement to be the acting Director of Operations after the position became vacant at the end of 2023 when former Director Tarmo Uukkivi and the Town parted company.
“We are very happy to be welcoming Randy to our team as the Town of Huntsville’s new Director of Operations. We are thrilled that the Town will be benefitting from Randy’s wealth of municipal operations experience,” stated Denise Corry, CAO at the Town of Huntsville. “Randy is a long-time Muskokan, with very strong local knowledge gained through an impressive career working for area municipalities, as well as the District of Muskoka.”
According to the release, Bissonette’s career spans over four decades, initially starting with The City of Mississauga in the Parks Department before transitioning to the Muskoka region, where he spent 25 years with the District of Muskoka in a series of progressive positions. After leaving the District of Muskoka, he went to the Town of Bracebridge to be the Manager of Operations. After seven years at the Town of Bracebridge, he decided he was ready to embark on the next chapter of his career: retirement. Retirement proved to be short-lived, as the Town of Huntsville called upon him in early 2023 to be the acting Director of Operations.
