OTTAWA, ON, May 21, 2025 /CNW/ - The Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Rebecca Webb as its new Executive Director, effective immediately. Ms. Webb has been serving as Acting Executive Director since March 2024 and previously held the role of Director of Governance and Operations.

"The Board is confident that Rebecca's appointment will strengthen LMIC's leadership and deepen our ability to respond to Canada's evolving labour market information needs," said Suzanne Harbottle, Chair of LMIC's Board of Directors and Assistant Deputy Minister, Labour and Workforce Strategies, Jobs, Economy and Northern Development with the Government of Alberta. "She has already demonstrated a deep commitment to collaboration and excellence during her time as Acting Executive Director." 

Webb emphasized her commitment to LMIC's pan-Canadian mission and driving innovation in Canada's LMI ecosystem. "I'm honoured to take on this role at such a pivotal time," said Webb. "Our focus remains clear: deliver accessible, actionable insights that help Canadians—and the organizations that serve them—make informed decisions in a rapidly changing world of work." 

In her capacity as Executive Director, Webb will oversee the implementation of LMIC's strategic and operational plans, while continuing to advance national collaboration on key labour market challenges through partnerships with government, researchers, and industry.
