Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman has announced changes to the leadership of city committees, in an effort to better respond to the province’s reopening as well as the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m proud of the way Winnipeggers have responded to the global pandemic,” said Bowman.
“As our city begins to adjust to a new normal, it is important that those in leadership roles are focused on how we can continue to build our city for the future during and after the pandemic has passed.”
The mayor said council’s committees will be working with recently-adopted multi-year budgets to respond to the pandemic and its aftermath.
