Osborne Village has a new boss.
The Osborne Village Business Improvement Zone (BIZ) announced the appointment of Lindsay Somers as its new executive director, beginning Tuesday.
The Winnipeg neighbourhood — once heralded by the Canadian Institute of Planners as one of Canada’s greatest — was called an ‘urban gem’ by Somers, who has a background in marketing, community engagement and urban program development.
“I’m thrilled to step into this leadership role to listen, engage, support and build momentum for the community of Osborne Village,” she said.
