A Prince Albert man has been tasked with leading Saskatchewan’s Habitat for Humanity as Interim CEO.

In a media release, the organization said Gary Gurtler was appointed as interim CEO effective March 1.

Gurtler has worked for Habitat in many roles, recently as director for the Prince Albert Region and Provincial ReStores and as Interim Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert.

“Gary is absolutely committed to Habitat’s mission, is deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of Habitat’s operations, and is well respected by his peers and partners,” said Bruce Anderson, chair of the Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan Board of Directors.

Gurtler was appointed following the resignation of Denis Perrault as CEO, effective Feb. 28

“Perrault provided outstanding leadership and critical decision-making during the intensive time of the merger and has set a path for Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan to grow and provide more families with affordable housing,” Anderson said. “We are grateful for Denis’s contributions, but I know he is looking forward to some downtime and to pursue other interests.”

The Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan Human Resources Committee, with the help of Affective Consulting, is currently searching for a permanent CEO.
