Director general given the push

Benoit Dagenais, who worked for the city for 30 years and has been director general since the Plante years, has been let go by Ensemble and replaced by Alain Dufort, who’s done various managerial jobs for the city.

No pressing reason mentioned why Dagenais has been given the push, but Le Devoir’s Jeanne Corriveau notes that, in recent history, directors general don’t long survive a change of administration at city hall.
