Pierre Lafontaine stepping down as head of CIS

Former Swimming Canada CEO Pierre Lafontaine is stepping down from his role as CEO of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) after just under two years.

Lafontaine, who doubled as the CEO and National Team Director for Swimming Canada, left that position in early 2013 to take over as the head of all college sports in Canada. But he’s now left that job, effective immediately, according to a press release from CIS.

“I feel the time is right for me to explore new challenges and opportunities,” Lafontaine said in the press release. No word on whether those new opportunities will be swimming-specific or more related to all sports, as his CIS job was. CIS has already begun its search for a new CEO.
