CALGARY, Dec. 4, 2015 /CNW/ – Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (CLC – TSX; “Connacher” or the “Company”) today announced that Merle Johnson, formerly Connacher's Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and a director of Connacher, replacing Brent de Jong who was formerly Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Connacher.
