Tali Campbell has stepped down as director of business operations for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs announced in a release on Friday, Aug. 31 that Cambell has tendered his resignation, effective October 1.
“This was neither an easy decision nor one I really wanted to do,” Campbell said in a Facebook post on Friday. “My family and friends know the passion and love I have for this job and knew that I worked tirelessly to try and make the team better in all aspects.”
