City Council on November 25 and 26, 2020, adopted the following:
1. City Council appoint Ron Carinci as Chair of the Create TO Board of Directors, at pleasure of Council, for a term of office effective November 26, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2021 and until a successor is appointed.
Summary
Dino Chiesa was appointed Chair of the CreateTO Board of Directors for a term ending December 31, 2021. Mr. Chiesa has recently been on a leave of absence from the Board. Ron Carinci, who has been Vice Chair of the CreateTO Board of Directors since February 15, 2019, has been Acting Chair in his absence.
