Community City hall open to local artists after New West exhibit program approved

TheresaMcManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Local artists will be able to showcase their works in a new exhibition space being created in NewWestminster City Hall.

Council unanimously approved the establishment of a city hall community art exhibition program on the second-floor mezzanine of city hall. Art will be displayed on the walls outside the mayor’s office and council chambers (a space that formerly housed photos of all of the city’s mayors), as well as the entire second-floor corridor.

The city will work in partnership with the Arts Council of NewWestminster to facilitate and install a rotating exhibition of works by ACNW member organizations and other local artists, said a staff report to council.

“This rotating community exhibit would serve to raise the profile of the city’s local community-based visual arts organizations and local artists, and expand opportunities for New Westminster residents to experience and enjoy art in the community,” said the report

In November 2021, council approved a motion by then-councillor Mary Trentadue to have staff report back to council and the public art advisory committee with options to reimagine the space and walls outside council chamber to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment

That motion stated the city is working towards “creating a welcoming, inclusive and accepting community that promotes a deep understanding and respect for all cultures” and noted that the city’s arts strategy aims to expand opportunities for the arts in the community

Now that council has approved the plan, staff will complete an environmental review of the mezzanine walls to determine if there’s any asbestos-containing materials in the walls and will complete any required remediation to ensure the area has a safe hanging surface.The city will also install a hanging rail to support the exhibitions and will prepare a memorandum of understanding with the arts council to outline and define roles and responsibilities

The staff report stated the cost of purchasing and installing a hanging system and exhibition signage is

estimated at $3,000.The cost of testing and abating/ remediating the walls is estimated at $5,000.

Coun. Daniel Fontaine said the report relates to a decision to remove photographs of all of the city’s mayors, going back to the city’s incorporation, from the walls outside of council chamber. Rather than creating a space to display art in city hall, he said he’d prefer the $8,000 be used to create exhibition spaces in the city

“While I’d love to, as a city councillor, be able to enjoy that art every time I come here, I think there’s perhaps other opportunities for us to support artists in the community, actually in the neighbourhoods,” he said “So they don’t have to come to city hall to put up their art, so that they can actually put that throughout the community”

In a 5-2 vote, council opposed Fontaine’s motion to halt the establishment of the city hall community art exhibition program and to redirect the $8,000 to the city’s community grant program, where it could be made available for local arts groups’ efforts to display their works throughout the community

A Since there is no “silver bullet”toothpaste, the best option for you will depend on the specific needs of your mouth As a general rule, the most important ingredient of any toothpaste is fluoride for cavity control If you choose a toothpaste without fluoride for personal reasons, be aware that more frequent brushing and flossing might be needed to prevent cavities Beyond fluoride, a good place to start your search is by asking your dentist what areas of your mouth could use improvement For example, if you have a lot of plaque build-up, a toothpaste aimed at tartar control would be best for you Some other useful toothpaste options include anti-sensitivity, tooth whitening, and gum care. It is also wise to choose a toothpaste that has received the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval Any toothpaste that has received this approval is safe to use and will help you keep your teeth their healthiest!

Q A

What

happens if I break or chip my denture?

The best solution is to return to the Denturist who made your dentures and have the cracked denture repaired professionally It may seem easy to fix, but it is important that the repair is done correctly to prevent problems with chewing and to avoid any sore spots The Denturist also needs to check the denture and adjust it after it is repaired. The denture may be too old and may no longer fit closely to your gums, and you may need a new denture Do not try to glue it together yourself, it can be toxic as well it can displace your bite if done incorrectly

What do Scientists have to say about what makes older adults happy?

Researchers have found that seniors in their 80’s and 90’s, and older adults generally report higher levels of contentment and well being than teenagers and young adults According to the New York Times gerontologists call this the paradox of old age. Oder people who have lived through and coped with many challenges and losses in their lives are resilient

According to a study in The Geronotologist, accepting aging and adapting to age-related changes is vital to successful aging and well-being

Frequent social participation and interaction contributes to the mental health and well-beings of Canadian seniors according to a Statistic Canada study on healthy aging Active engagement in life through physical, mental and social activities is a key component of successful aging and life satisfaction, according to researchers from Toronto’s York University Their study found that physically active older adults were more than twice as likely to successfully age

As people get older they become better at regulating their emotional health and looking at experiences and challenges with a positive attitude, according to a Stanford Centre on Longevity study

University of Toronto researchers also found that formal volunteering reduced depression and increased psychological well-being

I just bought beautiful shades from Budget Blinds, how do I clean them?

If you have a cellular or honeycomb shade, Dust them with a feather duster, or lightly vacuum with an upholstery attachment For dust inside the cells, a blow dryer on the lowest, cool air setting will blow the dust-out Clean with a sponge and a mild detergent/warm water solution and blot dry Dry cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning are not recommended. Extra care should be used when cleaning opaque/blackout fabrics, as the fabrics could become permanently creased

If you have a Solar shade, to keep them clean you would Lightly vacuum both sides of shade using a brush or upholstery attachment Softly brush with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow the shade to dry completely before raising it Do not immerse them in water

What is Corporate Accountability?

www.Investopedia.com says the our pillars of corporate governance accountability are transparency, fairness responsibility and risk management Further, as one can read in the news, large public corporations (meaning shares can be purchased by anyone on the stock market) can be held liable or breaches of criminal laws as well as breaches of regulations such as environmental protections

This corporate responsibility occurs because corporations are separate legal individuals like humans thus most laws that apply to us as humans also apply to corporations n addition, there are unique laws that also apply to corporations Further there are specific laws that impose personal liability on the Directors and even Officers of the Corporations despite the intent of most shareholders to protect themselves from personal liability for any of their business wrongs

In addition to any legal wrongs which allow a court to pierce the ”corporate veil” some legislation specifically imposes personal liability such as Directors can be liable or unpaid corporate taxes or wages owed to employees so if the human shareholder is a Director then the human becomes liable as a Director not as a shareholder t is important to note that small privately owned corporations, like most small businesses are also subject to the laws and principles affecting corporate accountability
