WINNIPEG – Deepak Joshi has resigned from his position as Winnipeg’s top bureaucrat.
Joshi, the chief financial officer who was named acting chief administrative officer following the resignation of former CAO Phil Sheegl, resigned effective Wednesday. Joshi was suspended Jan. 16 by Mayor Brian Bowman, who would only say he had “lost confidence” in the acting CAO.
