VICTORIA- Municipal Solutions Group, Inc. (CDNX: MSM), parent company to Municipal Software Corporation, a leading developer of local government business process automation software, announced today that Mel Couvelier was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors.

Couvelier replaces Director Joseph Montgomery and joins CEO Robert Foo, President Rob Bennett, Vice President of Product Development Troy Kusy and Secretary and CFO Gabriel Tsang on the Municipal Solutions Group Board of Directors.

Couvelier brings an important focus to Municipal from his public sector experience. He served as Minister of Finance for the Province of British Columbia (BC) and as Mayor of Saanich Municipality for 10 years.

He has a long history of business, technology and political involvement in BC. He has served as a board member for several organizations including BC Bancorp and numerous privately owned BC companies. He also served as Chairman of the Union of BC Municipalities and he is a founding Director of the Greater Victoria Economic Development Commission, Victoria Technology Association and the Horticultural Society of the Pacific.
