Karen Redman is out, and Scott Davey is in as the new chair of the Region of Waterloo.

A Kitchener councillor, Davey was one of eight appointees announced this week in the wake of the Ford government’s plans to pick regional chairs rather than leaving the job to municipal voters.

Along with Waterloo Region, the province chose council heads in Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel and York regions, Muskoka District and Simcoe County.
