The City of Weyburn will be starting the search for a new Director of Engineering. Sean Abram, who has served in the role since May of 2014, is off to Ontario, where he will be working for a private firm.

“It was just time for Linda and I to move on,” Abram told Discover Weyburn. “We had moved home to be closer to family for a couple of years, and we’ve got that stuff taken care of. We’re looking to move to a place where we plan on retiring.”

Abram was instrumental in helping with a number of changes around the city, including work at the landfill, the lagoons, and on the preparations for the new water reservoir. He said it was fantastic, for the most part, working with the staff at public works, parks and the water treatment plant.

Abram, with his wife Linda, will be around Weyburn for another month or two, as they finish up renovations to their house to get it ready to sell.
