Niki Anderson has been appointed as the new city manager for Regina. Anderson has twenty years experience as a senior leader. Over the past four and a half years, she has held leadership roles with the City of Edmonton, most recently as Deputy Fire Chief (Planning and Office of Emergency Management) and Executive Officer, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services. Prior to this, she was with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in a number of increasingly senior roles, notably in strategic development and institutional engagement. Anderson was also a Managing Partner with Uniglobe Geo Travel for three years, after spending one year in Afghanistan providing logistics start-up expertise to the Department of National Defense.
“I am excited to take on this new responsibility and the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,” said Anderson. “I look forward to working closely with the Mayor and Council and City employees as we support Council in the achievement of its priorities.”
As Anderson moves into her new role, Jim Nicol and Amber Ackerman, currently serving as Interim City Manager and Interim City Clerk respectively, will move back into their previous roles. Nicol will resume duties as City Clerk, and Ackerman returns to her position as Deputy City Clerk.
“We are excited that Ms. Anderson is joining the City of Regina as its administrative head,” said Mayor Masters. “My Council colleagues and I are confident that we have found an extremely talented and experienced individual whose focus on service excellence in both the public and private sector will strengthen our efforts to build our community and grow the economy.”
