Two Indigenous women appointed to lead the Thunder Bay Police Services Board, joining recently appointed chief, a Métis from Manitoba
Police Services Board, making an all-Indigenous leadership at the helm of the beleaguered force in what is being called another new start.
Ms. Machado, who is from the Red Rock band, said she’s hopeful the new leadership will work well together and in new ways with fresh approaches. She said she’s up for the challenge and brings a lot of experience with what she called a quasi-military workplace as a former superintendent of the local corrections centre.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission said in March that “an emergency continues to exist in the board’s oversight of the service” and that there would be continuing uncertainty until a newly constituted board was put in place and the new police chief went through a transition period.to oversee the board in April, 2022, and that term was recently extended to supervise the transition to a new police chief and new board.
“We’ve already begun some of the work to look at those recommendations. … There’s quite a bit of them,” Ms. Machado said, adding that the work so far has been positive and that everyone is committed.The new chair and vice-chair will assume their roles on July 1, when province-appointed administrator Malcom Mercer steps down.
