Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens ' wife recently hired as project manager in parks, recreation, and facilities department.

Councillor Michael Chantler is a long-time friend of Dilkens , who attended school with him.

The commissioner of community services is in charge of the parks department, which hired Jane Deneau this spring .

Dilkens confirmed his wife works as a project manager, a position created through a departmental reorganization.

The Star asked for the names of the people on the hiring panel, whether anyone else participated in or sat in on candidate interviews, and who signed off on Deneau ’s hiring.

The Star also asked the city to provide a statement about the hiring process.

The city's executive director of parks, recreation, and facilities is James Chacko — a senior manager Dilkens has the authority to fire.

McKenzie 's push for an evaluation of human resource issues failed.

McKenzie said he will continue to advocate against strong mayor legislation.

"I’ve been very clear. I think it’s atrocious legislation,” he said.
