B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s Chief of Staff, Ken Boessenkool, resigned from his position after discovering the findings of an internal investigation into “an incident of concern” which took place earlier this month. Boessenkool handed his resignation letter to Clark on Sunday after a meeting both attended. He reportedly stated in the letter that “earlier this month I was involved in an incident where I acted inappropriately.” He added that “I was wrong, regretted my behaviour very much and immediately and unconditionally apologized.”
Ms. Clark made a public announcement only declaring that her former B.C. Hydro chair, Dan Doyle, is now her new Chief of Staff but she did not give a clue regarding the particulars of the event which led to Mr. Boessenkool’s resignation. According to her, “Earlier this month, the premier’s office was made aware of an incident of concern. Since that time, a review has been undertaken that adhered to the processes set down by the B.C. Public Service Agency. Having considered this review, I accepted the resignation of the chief of staff.”
Boyle is known to have a career of civil servant. He is renowned to play a key role during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, after which he served as the chair of B.C. Hydro up till now.
Mr. Boessenkool had initially been hired to aid the Premier’s conservative credentials as Clark struggled to patch up a coalition party that had been in support to the B.C. Conservatives. Boessenkool claimed that his resignation will also allow him to return to Calgary and stay with his family “who I have also let down – and from whom I have been separated on a weekly basis for most of the last eight months.”
Clark is scheduled to answer all questions and queries in a press conference in Vancouver at 11 a.m. today.
