Little has been written about the Canadian municipal chief administrative officer (CAO). Given the growing importance of municipalities, it is an important gap in the literature. This article depicts CAOs as a group of older white men, highly educated and very experienced. Given the impending retirement of a significant number of CAOs, municipalities have an opportunity to achieve a greater degree of representativeness. The authors identify a number of research trajectories to enhance our knowledge and understanding of this critical administrative position. SommaireIl existe peu de documents sur les chefs des services municipaux au Canada. Etant donne l'importance croissante des municipalites, cela represente une grave lacune dans la documentation. Cet article decrit les chefs des services municipaux comme un groupe d'hommes blancs d'un certain age, ayant un haut niveau d'etudes et une grande experience. Comme un grand nombre d'entre eux vont prendre leur retraite d'ici peu, les municipalites ont une occasion de parvenir a un plus grand degre de representativite. Les auteurs identifient un certain nombre de pistes de recherche pour ameliorer nos connaissances et notre comprehension de cette fonction administrative cruciale.
