The City of Estevan has found a new building official.
Jade Volesky was announced as the new building official during Monday night鈥檚 meeting of Estevan city council. Councillor Shelly Veroba noted that Volesky did some work at Creighton Lodge, where Veroba is the manager, a few years ago when Creighton Lodge expanded its lounge area.
Volesky said he is excited to work for the city and take his career to another level.
Council also accepted the resignation of the former building official, Justin Charron, who has moved back to his hometown of Ottawa. Charron鈥檚 last day of work with the city was Aug. 30.
Charron told council he was returning to Ottawa for personal, professional and career advancement reasons. He said he made good friends through the city, and with his involvement with the Estevan Fire Rescue Service and the Rotary Club of Estevan.

Council approved a request from the United Way Estevan to place banners on city boulevards, grassy areas and flower pots prior to the annual telethon Oct. 18 and 19. The banners are expected to be placed in 12 locations, and will be taken down on Oct. 20, the day after the fundraiser.
The banners, which will not be located in areas where they would obstruct line of sight, will be placed in lieu of the logos that the United Way has painted at intersections and other locations in the community in previous years.
