She has a background as a law clerk, and worked in such a capacity prior to joining the Municipality. Kennedy resides in Teeswater with her family and has been a lifelong resident of South Bruce.

“We are pleased to have promoted Vivian Kennedy to the role of Deputy Clerk for South Bruce. She has demonstrated over the past couple of years her attention to detail and her ability to adapt successfully to various roles that support the operation of the Municipality,” said Mayor Robert Buckle.
