The City of Thompson didn’t waste any time in hiring a new director of recreation, parks and culture.  

Carol Taylor was officially announced as the new director in a press release from the City earlier today, a role that she had been filling temporarily throughout the summer. 

Taylor has been a City employee since 2006, starting as the assistant treasurer, before becoming the CFO a year later and then a project specialist in 2011.  

According to the release, her first priority will be to review the City’s recreational facilities, and to develop a path forward that will both ensure long-term financial sustainability while maximizing services offered.  

Mayor Dennis Fenske said that Taylor has been an invaluable member of the municipal team for over a decade, and that he is excited to see her returning t of director’s role.
