The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls lost its fourth staffer this week, CBC News has learned.

Chantale Courcy was director of operations until Monday. Director of communications Bernée Bolton confirmed that Courcy is the latest person to leave the inquiry commission.

“I can confirm that the former Director of Operations, who was a federal public servant her whole life before joining the National Inquiry, has accepted a promotion within the Federal Government as of Monday, June 12,” Bolton stated in an email to CBC News.

Courcy’s departure comes on the heels of news that another staff member has resigned. Tanya Kappo’s name was removed from the inquiry’s website earlier this week. She has resigned effective Thursday.
