Ilmar Simanovskis

I am an innovative and experienced leader and mentor who has helped build strong teams and deliver valuable services through dedicated commitment to excellence. Success has been enhanced by working with great people who have a similar vision and commitment to the communities we serve.

I have a combination of private and public sector experience that brings a full perspective on issues and my training in engineering combined with an MBA bring a valued strategic view. Continuous improvement is supported by lean six sigma expertise that adds further value to the decision making process.

Community Sustainability is very important to me and one of the main reasons why I have focused my career in municipal services. As our communities continue to grow, there is ever increasing demand on our natural environment, resources and lands. By being part of the municipal team, I strive to make valuable contributions in the planning and decision making processes for our growing communities. From the initial stages of development planning and approvals to creative means of servicing and managing these projects, my focus is on building a strong and sustainable future.

I value trust, respect and communication and strive to find opportunity and synergy. With a keen interest in life learning and a drive to make meaningful change, I invest in finding ideal solutions to complex issues. I work closely with my peers in building strong teams that are dedicated and resilient. I have a supportive management style that rewards engagement and commitment while balancing life’s challenges. Accountability is important and expected from all partners and team members as a foundation to meeting our challenges in providing valuable contributions to our clients and communities.
