It was a full house for the Hyack Festival Association’s annual President’s Tea.
More than 120 guests attended the Jan. 29 event at Dunwood Place seniors residence, where the new Hyack ambassador leadership candidates were introduced. Guests included Mayor Jonathan Cote, Coun. Lorrie Williams, Senator Yonah Martin and school trustee Jonina Campbell, as well as representatives from ambassador programs in Quesnel and White Rock.
The Hyack ambassador awards gala weekend gets underway on Feb. 17 at the Justice Institute of B.C. with its First Night event featuring speeches and presentations by the candidates. The Evening of Stars gala is on Feb. 18 at the Laura C. Muir Theatre in Douglas College, where the six leadership candidates will be installed as ambassadors (with the mandate of ‘serving our community and representing our city’) and the title scholarship of Miss New Westminster and Hyack Princess will be awarded.
Tickets for both events are available at www.eventbrite.ca (search for Hyack)
