On Sept. 26, Co-op CEO and General Manager, Ron Heal announced his resignation from his position effective Oct. 31.

“I haven’t solidified anything yet in terms of what I will be moving on to doing,” said Heal. “I’m still looking at a couple of options but I made the decision for personal reasons. I have a young family and I’m really looking forward to having more balance in my work and home life.”

The Co-op board of directors will be taking immediate steps to fill Heal’s position, but in the interim, effective Nov. 1, current operations manager Erik Gault, will assume the CEO responsibilities.

"We have a great team of people here, so my role is to simply ensure a smooth transition from Ron into the new candidate that will be selected by the board," said Gault. "I've worked with Ron closely so I don't foresee any issues in this transition. I wish him the best and thank him for the years of service he provided."

Heal has been with Peninsula Co-op for 13 years, and has been CEO since April of this year. Heal previously worked as controller for Co-op and served on the board of directors from 1997 to 1999.
