A former senior advisor to Premier Greg Selinger has been named the new head of the Winnipeg’s downtown development agency.

Angela Mathieson, who served six years as the head of cabinet’s powerful community and economic development committee before stepping down two years ago, will become CentreVenture’s president and CEO. She replaces Ross McGowan, who recently retired.

Mathieson is trained as a city planner and served three years as the province’s assistant deputy minister for urban initiatives. Most recently, she’s been a consultant, working on projects like the rail side and Parcel Four development plan at The Forks.
