One position that is no longer accepting applications is the Chief Operating Officer. That job was posted on May 18. No official announcement or hiring of that position has been revealed.
The team was scheduled to unveil its name, colours and logo on July 9 (Friday), but the team announced on Thursday evening that they would be delaying that announcement until Friday.
The Aquilini Investment Group’s five-year contract to take over the Abbotsford Centre begins on Jan 1, 2022.
