Prince George, B.C. – For the past dozen years, Les Waldie has  served on the  board of the Prince George Airport Authority.  That all comes to end on May 31st.

The bylaws for the Board  require  that Waldie’s term  is  up,  but  the  Airport Authority  seized the opportunity  to say goodbye to Waldie at the  annual general meeting.

“He has been here  ever since I’ve been here” said  CEO and President John Gibson, “He’s the one  who hired me,  so I’m particularly going to miss him.”

Over the  past 7 years,   Waldie has served as Chair, Vice Chair,  Chair of the HR Committee,  and  is known throughout the community for his work  with  other  organizations.

Dean Mason takes over as Chair  on June 1st.
