By News Staff

The City of Toronto says Chief Planner and Executive Director of the City Planning division, Jennifer Keesmaat, is leaving her post after five years to pursue other interests.

She steps down officially on September 29th.

“I want to personally thank Jennifer for her tremendous passion, leadership and innovation in driving forward a number of major projects for the City as we continue to move Toronto toward becoming a more livable, affordable and functional city,” Mayor John Tory said in a release.

“Jennifer has used her platform and voice as Chief Planner to help guide Council’s efforts to build a better city for all Torontonians and I wish her all the best in the next phase of her career.”

Keesmaat, who was hired in September 2012, called it an “honour” to work for the city, but said it was time to move on.

“I promised myself that after five years in public service I would review my future options,” she said in a release. “I look forward to new challenges in the important business of city building now enriched by invaluable lessons, new friends and colleagues acquired while serving the people of our great city, Toronto.”
