Mayor Gillingham announces changes to EPC

Mayor Scott Gillingham announced changes to Executive Policy Committee (EPC) today:

• Councillor Vivian Santos (Point Douglas) joins EPC as Chair of the Standing Policy Committee on Community Services.

• Councillor Evan Duncan (Charleswood - Tuxedo - Westwood) shifts to the role of Chair of Water, Waste and Environment.

• Councillor Janice Lukes (Waverley West) remains as Chair of Public Works.

• Councillor Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) continues as Chair of Finance and Economic Development.

• Councillor Sherri Rollins (Fort Rouge - East Fort Garry) remains as Chair of Property and Development.

Councillor Lukes will also continue to serve as Deputy Mayor, and Councillor Markus Chambers (St. Norbert) will remain as Deputy Mayor.

"When I was elected Mayor, I made significant changes to EPC by eliminating one position and ending the practice of 'EPC + 2' briefings," explained Gillingham. "It's important to periodically refresh EPC to ensure it benefits from the diverse viewpoints and experiences on City Council and to achieve balanced representation from across Winnipeg."

Mayor Gillingham highlighted that his priorities for EPC over the next year include enhancing customer service, improving the City's budget position, and accelerating the construction of new housing to address the homelessness crisis and to qualify for significant federal infrastructure and transit funding opportunities.

"I would like to sincerely thank Councillor Brian Mayes for his dedicated service on EPC over the past 20 months," added Gillingham. "Councillor Mayes is one of the longest-serving members of EPC in Winnipeg's history and a strong advocate for the people of St. Vital. I look forward to continuing to work closely with him in his role as councillor."
