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. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very happy to be welcoming Randy to our team as the Town of Huntsville\u2019s new Director of Operations. We are thrilled that the Town will be benefitting from Randy\u2019s wealth of municipal operations experience,\u201d stated Denise Corry, CAO at the Town of Huntsville. \u201cRandy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the release, Bissonette&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Town of Huntsville announced today that Randy Bissonette has been chosen as the municipality&#8217;s new Director of Operations following a competitive recruitment process.
