THUNDER BAY -- Another manager has left the city.

General Manager of Community Services Michael Smith's resignation was announced Wednesday. Smith will be taking a job somewhere in Southern Ontario.

Smith, who'd been with the city since 2011 played a key role in the city's event centre process as facilities, fleet and transit manager.

Smith had been on approved leave from the city since sometime late last year.

Gerry Broere took over as acting manager of community services and will continue to do so while a search for Smith's permanent replacement begins.

City manager Norm Gale said he has every confidence in Broere and his team.

"We have a number of extraordinarily talented people," Gale said. 

"Services provided in that department will continue without disruption."

Smith is the fourth manager to leave the city due to retirement or taking another job, since June.
