KAMLOOPS — Kamloops-based B.C. Lottery Corporation has announced a new interim president and CEO.

Lynda Cavanaugh will take over from Greg Moore on January 22. Moore announced his resignation in November.

Moore was initially hired to head up the Crown corporation as Jim Lightbody undergoes treatment for cancer.

In a news release, BCLC says Cavanaugh has a long history in the public service in B.C., including from 2011 from 2020 as assistant deputy minister in the ministries of the attorney general and solicitor general.

Cavanaugh will not relocate to Kamloops. BCLC says “[g]iven the temporary nature of her role as Interim President and CEO, and due to the impacts of COVID-19, Cavanaugh will be based from her home in Sidney” on Vancouver Island. The corporation says she will travel to BCLC offices in Kamloops and Vancouver as needed and when “it is safe to do so”.
