The CAO of the Canada Summer Games is stepping down, just months after taking the position.
Wayne Parrish began working on the highly anticipated event in March, but the St. Catharines Standard reports he is leaving for personal reasons.
Chair of the 2021 Canada Summer Games Host Society Board of Directors Doug Hamilton tells the paper they are 'going to solidify plans for a full-time replacement in the coming weeks.'
Officals say the games are expected to bring 5,000 athletes to Niagara with an economic impact of approximately $200 million.
