Kingsville welcomes new CAO KINGSVILLE — The Town of Kingsville has welcomed John Norton as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), who started yesterday, September 8. Norton’s most recent tenure was at the Township of Georgian Bluffs as its Chief Administrative Officer. Previously, he worked at the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, holding a number of positions over the course of nine years, most recently as General Manager of Community Development where he had responsibility for economic development and long-term community planning, among other responsibilities. Norton placed an emphasis in Chatham-Kent on developing a growth strategy for that community. He worked this year with a community-led task force on the economic response to the COVID crisis. He brings experience in fostering an environment in which businesses and residents can thrive.
“We’re excited to have John join our municipality as CAO,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “He’s a proven leader with a wealth of experience who, alongside Council and staff, will help bring the vision, goals and objectives of our community to fruition.” As CAO, Norton will be the town’s senior administrator responsible directly to Council for ensuring effective dayto-day management of the municipality, while creating a collaborative team environment by engaging with both staff, Council, residents and businesses. “Kingsville is such an exciting place to live and work,” he said.. “I am looking forward to living in the community and working closely with Mayor Santos, Council and the employees in Kingsville.” Before entering public service, he worked in a private law practice with a focus on municipal law.
