After 14 years as either a Councillor, or the Town's CAO, Barry Williamson is stepping down from his post with the Town of Turner Valley.

He says it's been a long ride, but one he's proud of.

"I think you really stay at it if you really think you're helping and making a contribution. I don't know why else you'd be doing it. I felt that there was value there. And I was enjoying what I was doing there, even with the up's and down's, I still ultimately enjoyed what I was doing."

Williamson says he plans to take a much deserved long vacation before deciding on his next move.

His last day will be Friday, January 5.
