Winnipeg’s First Chief Construction Officer Steps Down | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg’s first chief construction officer, Tom Sparrow, is stepping down for personal reasons, marking the end of a pioneering role created to boost oversight of major city projects. Appointed in April 2025, Sparrow played a key role in shaping the budget for the North End sewage plant and pushing for standardized, industry-aligned practices — making Winnipeg the first Canadian city to adopt this position.

Notably, Sparrow’s earlier concerns about public financial disclosures were unrelated to his departure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
