The Town of Saugeen Shores is happy to welcome Madison McNeill as its new By-Law Enforcement Officer. Officer McNeill began her duties on May 30, 2022.
McNeill comes to Saugeen Shores from Owen Sound, where she was the Provincial Offences Officer. Before that, she worked as a Municipal Law Enforcement for the City of Kitchener, and a Community Justice Coordinator for the John Howard Society.
“I was born and raised in Saugeen Shores, so I am eager to give back to my community”, says McNeill. “I am looking forward to developing the By-law Enforcement function through increased engagement, educational messaging, and community presence.”
McNeill replaces long-serving Officer Ron Cullierier, who moves into semi-retirement after almost 10 years as a by-law officer. Previous to that, Cullierier was with the Town’s Police Service for 30 years.
“We welcome Madison to our staff as we say Thank You to Ron for his many years of service”, says Mayor Luke Charbonneau. “Officer McNeill has big shoes to fill, and we are confident she will fulfill her duties with both compassion and integrity.”
The By-Law Enforcement Officer is responsible for enforcing Town by-laws in order to create a safe and enjoyable community for all residents and visitors. The Officer also acts as a community resource to answer any questions or concerns regarding By-Laws and other enforcement issues.
