Mapleton employee joins staff of Wellington County

The township’s business development and marketing coordinator Crystal Ellis has accepted a position with Wellington County.

Ellis began work as economic development coordinator for the county a contract basis on Jan. 11.

Jan. 6 was her last day with the township.

“We’re really proud that Crystal would be chosen to join the County of Wellington from our staff,” Mayor Neil Driscoll told the Community News.

“It just shows that a member municipality can bring a person up through the ranks and then the county sees value in having them on their staff.

“And were also glad that Crystal is going to be part of the economic development department of the county - just bringing her agricultural background to the county of Wellington is phenomenal.”

Driscoll said CAO Brad McRoberts will bring a report to council “on how we can rehire or redo that position.”
