“I am honoured and proud to have been at the helm of the 5th Canadian Division over the past two years — a tremendous team that has built and sustained operational and institutional readiness for the Canadian Armed Forces,” said Turenne in a news release.

Macaulay most recently served as Chief of Staff Army Strategy and has held various command and staff positions in Canada and on international operations.

Macaulay will be responsible for both regular and reserve force Canadian Army units located throughout all four Atlantic Provinces.
