NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. – Today, Michel Ladrak announced he is stepping down from his role as President and General Manager of BC Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC) to pursue another opportunity closer to home in Europe.

During his tenure, Ladrak’s leadership has made a tremendous impact on BCRTC, most notably through his work to strengthen BCRTC’s employee and safety culture. He has worked hard to move the organization forward during these extraordinary times by prioritizing the continuous development of leaders. Thanks to this commitment, he is leaving both SkyTrain and West Coast Express in a better position for future renewal and expansion.

Ladrak’s decision to work closer to home is personal, and we wish him all the best on his new career path. While, we are sad to see him go, we understand and support his decision.

Ladrak’s last day will be June 10. Following his departure, Mike Richard the Vice President of Operations at BCRTC, will take on the role of interim President and General Manager while BCRTC’s Board of Directors conducts the search for a permanent successor.
