Biography

[edit | edit source]

Gillingham was born in Brandon, Manitoba, and raised on a farm near Carman. He played hockey in his youth, including stints with the Steinbach Hawks, Dauphin Kings and Winkler Flyers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.[2]

In his early 20s, Gillingham completed a diploma in pastoral theology at Horizon College and Seminary in Saskatoon and later graduate studies at Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg.[3] He was a Pentecostal pastor before entering politics in 2014 as a member of the Winnipeg City Council.[4] In 2021, he considered running in the 2021 Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba leadership election, but decided not to, citing the party's timeline.[5]

In 2022, he was elected mayor of Winnipeg.[6] In October of 2025, Mayor Gillingham, along with a security guard, helped save a persons life outside of Winnipeg's City Hall by administering a naloxone kit to an individual who was overdosing.[7]
