The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce elected its executive council on Tuesday.

The new executive council includes president Christine Conway, past-president Andrew Hopkins, vice-president Jean Hincks, secretary-treasurer Frank Gregus and executive member Lana Berar.

"With a strong board, new procedures and a commitment to engage the membership, I'm looking forward to what is sure to be an exciting year for the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce," Conway said in a press release. "The board will begin this term with a strategic planning process to set the vision for the chamber and to define how we can best serve and represent our members."

FOOD AND ART

Gallery owner Trudy Van Dop is curating the space at Wild Rice restaurant, which will display the works of a feature artist, whose original works will be available for sale.

"Featured artist Lori Popadiuk paints using found materials and a muted pallet to give her work an unobtrusive depth; allowing viewers to engage with each piece uninhibited by the artist's hand," states a media release about the exhibit, which will be on display at the restaurant from April 1 until June 1.

The next artist is sculptor and ceramicist Keith Rice-Jones, whose monumental ceramic sculptures bring presence to any room or garden, according to the release.
