Jim Goymer
Northern District
Mayor, Town of Gillam

Northern Director Jim Goymer is originally from Edmonton, but has been in the Town of Gillam since 1973 when he arrived for a three year job and never left. An employee of Manitoba Hydro since 1976, Goymer was briefly involved in local politics in the early 1980’s, but became too busy for council working full time, running his own business (he’s dabbled in everything from dry cleaning to movie rentals to burgers and fried chicken), and raising four children.

Goymer found the time to return to civic politics in the late 1990’s and was elected Mayor of Gillam in the 2010 election.

He was acclaimed to serve as AMM Northern Director in November, 2010.
