Saskatoon has a new City Manager in Jeff Jorgenson.
City Council announced Jorgenson as City Manager at today’s regular city council meeting. Council established a hiring committee at the end of 2017 to initiate a search process that started in February.
The hiring committee received and evaluated more than 67 applicants from across Canada.
The number of applicants is significantly higher compared to the last search for City Manager. Councillor Ann Iwanchuk says Jorgenson brings a combination of working experience in Saskatoon and in the private sector.
Jorgenson’s appointment to City Manager is effective as of this afternoon.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
