Steinbach Credit Union is moving its chief corporate sales officer into its top role.

James Gosselin became interim chief executive officer Monday. The term will last 12 months.

Curtis Wennberg, the credit union’s outgoing CEO, will serve as senior advisor to the entity’s board through November 2026.

Gosselin has been with the company since 1995. He began as a senior agriculture and commercial lending account manager and has since held a number of senior management roles.

A recovery-oriented system must connect housing, care, public safety and long-term community support.

Around 2016, something changed on Winnipeg’s streets. Methamphetamine became more prevalent. Fentanyl entered the supply. The drugs became more toxic, addiction more relentless and homelessness far more complex.

Our systems, however, largely remained the same.

For years, we have described Winnipeg’s homelessness crisis primarily as a housing problem. There is no question that we need affordable, supportive and transitional housing. But housing is only part of the crisis unfolding on our streets.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I kind of lost it recently with the hot weather and all the sweating, so I had my barber buddy completely shave off my thick head of hair.

Right away, I loved the cool feeling and thought it really looked good with my silver earring.

But when I came home that evening with my new look, my wife said it looked terrible and freaked her out.

Then she really went too far and said I’m now “all nose, with beady little eyes and a big mouth.” I had no idea she didn’t like my face anymore. I’ve never been considered an ugly man, but is that how my wife sees me now? At least other women don’t think so.
