Winnipeg's former mayor has landed himself a new job.
Brian Bowman is the new vice president of sustainability and social impact at Canada Life.
The insurance provider made the announcement Friday. Bowman told CTV News Winnipeg he's excited at the opportunity.
"It just seemed like a really strong fit for me in terms of the skill sets that I bring to the table," he said.
Bowman has considered a few different positions, both in Winnipeg and across Canada, since leaving City Hall nearly nine months ago.
He said he was attracted to the Canada Life job because of the company's sustainable approach. "Looking back, they certainly caught my eye of the leadership that they are providing," Bowman said.
Bowman began talking with leadership at Canada Life some time ago about the position. He sees it as an opportunity to continue some of the work he began as mayor. "Whether it's things like the million tree challenge or other sustainability initiatives," he said.
