Port Coquitlam’s manager of infrastructure planning will soon be heading up the Village of Belcarra.
This week, the municipality north of Port Moody named Burton as its new chief administrative officer to replace Paula Richardson, who is retiring.
In a news release, Mayor Jamie Ross said he looks forward to working with Burton, who takes over the role on April 24, 2025.
Burton was at the City of Port Coquitlam for eight years, where she led a team overseeing water, sewer, drainage, roads, surveying and GIS/mapping systems.
Previously, Burton was the supervisor for infrastructure management with the City of Coquitlam for nearly three years, as well as an engineering project manager for seven years, and a civil engineering technologist with the City of Victoria for two years.
Burton holds a master’s degree in business administration in executive management from Royal Roads University, a professional certificate in asset management planning from the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) and is accredited with the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTT).
About 700 people live in Belcarra, a municipality that also includes Metro Vancouver’s təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park.
