The Western Investment Company of Canada Announces CFO Transition

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Western Investment Company of Canada Limited (“Western” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture:WI) announces the appointment of Stacey Cross as Chief Financial Officer of Western. This appointment completes a planned transition to prepare for increased activity from a growing number of operating business investments. Stacey's appointment is subject to regulatory approval.

Stacey was appointed as Western’s Controller earlier this year, having served prior as controller at GlassMasters. She is a CPA, CA with 13 years of public and private accounting experience, including 5 years with a national accounting firm.

Board member Rick Moore served as CFO during the founding phase of Western, and has worked with Stacey to prepare for a smooth transition. With this process complete, Rick has decided that in addition to relinquishing that role, now would be an appropriate time for him to resign from the Board.

Western CEO Scott Tannas commented: “We at Western are pleased to have Stacey as CFO at Western as we move toward the next stage of growth and development as a company. We are also grateful to Rick for his strong leadership in the founding and building of our young company. We accept his resignation from our Board with regret. His skills and perspective will be missed.”
