Kate Zanon, AICP is the General Manager of Community Development for the City of Port Moody, BC Canada. In my career, I have had the privilege of providing leadership to multiple City departments applying the planning lens to operations and facilities, parks and recreation, arts and culture, and communty development. I have also worked with a variety of Boards, Committees and Commissions. Regardless of my role in an organization I look for opportunities to collarborate and assist teams in finding common ground. The areas I have the most significant experience include community development, strategic planning, long-range planning, development planning, economic development, and emergency planning.
The following career highlights provided me with the greatest learning experiences:
• Leading a cross organizational staff planning process for the redevelopment of a City center area. The project is strengthening staff relationships, providing creative problem solving opportunities, and informing a larger community planning project.
• With a colleague, facilitated the City's strategic planning process incorporating diverse Council views and community interests in developing the vision, goals, and objectives.
• In partnership with two other municipalities, jointly led an economic effort to stimulate job creation around key sectors. The partnership received Provincial government attention and funding.
