Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman; from RCMPNS on Facebook
Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman is retiring as the commanding officer of the provincial RCMP in October.
Bergerman served as a member of the RCMP for 35 years.
She was at the helm during the Portapique Massacre, in April 2020, when a rampaging gunman killed 22 people across Colchester County.
Public Information Officer Chris Marshall said Bergerman’s retirement will have no impact on her participation, if it’s required, in the Mass Casualty Commission.
Emily Hill, Commission Counsel, said participation doesn’t rely on current employment status.
“But rather their involvement or knowledge of the events on and leading up to April 18-19, 2020,” she said. “To find out what happened, how and why it happened, and to inform recommendations to keep communities safer in the future.”

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath on Wednesday urged Premier Doug Ford’s government to call an independent public inquiry into the province’s overall response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to reporters in front of Queen’s Park, Horwath said the inquiry should begin in September, and continue without a time limit, unlike the government’s commission into long-term care, which began investigating last September and concluded its mandate in April.
