Canon Laura Walton is the diocese’s new secretary of Synod, providing corporate governance and event planning expertise for the diocese, Synod and its committees. She started on Feb. 3 and succeeds Pamela Boisvert, who has become a property resources consultant in the diocese’s Property Resources department.
Canon Walton, a member of Holy Trinity, Clearview, will continue in her role as the Canon Administrator for the diocese’s North archdeaconry. She has volunteered in the diocese for more than 20 years, assisting both large and rural parishes. She is also the prolocutor for the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario.
“She brings extensive corporate and board-related knowledge and experience to this role in addition to her extensive insight into the Anglican Church,” said the diocese in making the announcement. “Her understanding of canonical obligations, diocesan policies and her ability to understand complex governance structures are some of the many strengths that she will bring to this role.”
