At a moving ceremony held last night at the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens, the outgoing Vancouver Park Board Commissioners met for a final time, providing those in attendance with a video celebration of Park Board’s achievements over the past four years.
Then it was time to introduce and swear in the new 2018 – 2022 Park Board Commissioners (pictured below). Green Party Commissioner Stuart Mackinnon was elected as Park Board Chairperson by acclamation, and his Green Party colleague, Dave Demers, was elected Vice-Chairperson of Park Board. COPE’s Gwen Giesbrecht won election as Park Board Committee Chairperson (where all the action goes on), while the NPA’s Tricia Barker becomes Vice-Chair of the Park Board Committee.
