During the Regular Council Meeting of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell (the “UCPR”), held on May 27th, Council Members approved the appointment of Mr. Alexandre Gorman as Administrator of the Prescott and Russell Residence. Mr. Gorman succeeds Mr. Eric Larocque who will be leaving his position at the end of month, following a transition period of approximately one month.
“We wish to acknowledge the retirement of Mr. Larocque and sincerely thank him for his outstanding commitment, particularly for maintaining the high-quality standards of the Prescott and Russell Residence since 2022, as well as for his strong involvement in the redevelopment project,” said Mr. Stéphane P. Parisien, the UCPR’s Chief Administrative Officer. “We are also very pleased to welcome back Mr. Alexandre Gorman, whose experience and knowledge of the organization will be valuable assets in ensuring the continuity and the development of our services.”
Newly appointed as Administrator of the Residence, Mr. Gorman, holder of a master’s degree in health services management from the Université de Montréal, is returning to a role he previously held from 2019 to 2022, to once again take on its leadership.
“Mr. Gorman’s return comes at an important time for the future of the Residence. His experience and knowledge of the organization make him the ideal person to lead the next steps. We are confident that the community will be in very good hands,” said Mr. Mario Zanth, Warden of the UCPR. “We would also like to thank Mr. Larocque for his many years of service to the UCPR, and we wish him a well-deserved retirement.”
Mr. Larocque has worked with the UCPR for 25 years. He notably served as Superintendent for 13 years, then as Deputy Chief of Emergency Services for three years. Over the course of his career, he led several major projects and concluded his tenure at the Prescott and Russell Residence, where he worked over the past four years.
