Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry councillor joins Transcona's Russ Wyatt on list of absent elected officials
Coun. Jenny Gerbasi has taken a two-week absence from city hall after leaving the February council meeting early.
The five-term councillor for Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry is taking a leave from her duties, said Rebecca Nepinak, Gerbasi's executive assistant.
Gerbasi also serves as deputy mayor and the president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, a responsibility that requires frequent travel.
She left the council chamber partway through Thursday's monthly meeting and did not return.
Gerbasi is the second elected official on Winnipeg's 16-member council to take a leave.
Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt has been absent since January and has missed two council meetings, so far.
