The Town of Hepburn is pleased to announce that Duane Storey will be stepping into the role of Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), effective May 4, 2026. Duane joins us following six years as CAO of the Rural Municipality of Shellbrook, bringing with him over a decade of prior experience in finance with organizations including Romeo’s Trucking and Sturgeon Lake First Nation. His diverse background also includes earlier experience managing a golf course—something he still enjoys in his spare time. Duane’s strong leadership, financial expertise, and understanding of municipal operations make him a great fit for Hepburn as we look ahead to continued growth and stability. We would also like to thank Lisa Braun for serving as our Acting Administrator during this season of transition, and a special thank you to the entire staff team for their leadership and dedication. We could not do our work without such an incredible team.
