Brian Thomas Douglas Bowman (born August 18, 1971) is a Canadian politician, lawyer, and judge, who was the 43rd mayor of Winnipeg from 2014 to 2022.

During his time with Pitblado, he became a recognized leader in the emerging fields of social media, access to information, and privacy law.

[11] Bowman has cited the importance of positioning and preparing the city for this level of growth to ensure services are available to residents when they're needed.

[14] This ongoing program helps the City of Winnipeg accurately manage its various holdings including roads, parks, water and sewer utilities, information technology and many more.

A report is published annually summarizing the current state of the City of Winnipeg's assets to provide direction for investment in the future.

[23] Infrastructure projects within new developments in Winnipeg were being supported by the Impact Fee, initiated by Bowman and approved by Council on October 26, 2016.

A portion of the revenue collected was promised by Bowman to be directed towards the construction of a new community center in the Waverly West neighborhood of Winnipeg.

[43][44] He supported the second phase of the Southwest Transitway, extending existing transit infrastructure down Pembina Highway to the University of Manitoba.

[47] The Transitway also had an accompanying active transportation component that allows residents to travel from South Winnipeg to Downtown on protected pathways.

[49][50] During his re-election campaign, Bowman committed to install 55 new heated bus shelters[51] and funds were subsequently allocated for this project in the 2019 Budget.

[52] City Council further directed in 2019 that protective shields for bus drivers be purchased and installed on all Winnipeg Transit busses by the end of 2019.

[54] Bowman has pushed for investments in active transportation, supporting the Winnipeg Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies Report presented to Council in December 2014[55] as well as increasing the number of bike lanes in the City.

[59] During his re-election campaign, Bowman committed to increase funds available for community center renovations to $2 million annually over a period of five years.

[63][64] Also in the downtown area, Bowman supported the demolition and redevelopment of the Public Safety Building and Civic Parkade lands adjacent to City Hall.

[72] In the 2020-2023 multi-year budget,  Winnipeg City Council allocated $25 million  to the Urban Forest Enhancement Program and Reforestation Improvements over the five year.

[80] In December 2022, Bowman was appointed as a judge of the Manitoba Court of King's Bench, with his swearing in taking place in March 2024.
