Halifax: Lantz Siteman Joins Port Authority Board

Canadian Transport Minister Denis Lebel on Feb. 14 appointed Lantz Siteman as the port users’ nominee to the Board of Directors of the Halifax Port Authority.

Mr. Siteman was Canada Trust Company's district vice president and regional manager for Atlantic Canada until he retired in 2001. As a member of the executive team, he contributed to the planning and merger of two national companies in the 1980s, coordinating operations in the Atlantic Provinces to help bring the project to fruition. 

Since retirement, he has remained active in professional and community ventures. These include currently serving on the board of the Certified General Accountants Association of Nova Scotia and previously as vice chair of the Association for the Eastern Shore Industrial Development Corporation, committee chair of the United Way of Halifax and director of the Eastern Shore Tourist Association. 

The port authority board is composed of seven members – one appointee each by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and four port user nominees. Members serve terms of three years and are eligible for two reappointments or a maximum of nine consecutive years.
