On June 16, Premier Stelmach established a council on arts and culture, and applicants are invited to apply to sit on the council. There will be 11 members who are appointed for one, two or three-year terms and will meet at least twice each year. Members will be paid an honorarium for attending meetings; and travel expenses will be reimbursed as required. It would be wonderful to have a person from this part of the Peace Country on that council so if you, or someone you know, would be interested, consider applying.
This council will help guide the implementation of The Spirit of Alberta - Alberta’s Cultural Policy and according to the news release will be tasked with:
- acting as provincial champions for culture and helping to build a greater awareness and appreciation of its social and economic benefits,
- providing advice on cultural initiatives designed to address the policy’s four goals: Access, Capacity, Excellence and Cultural Industries; and
- facilitating and enhancing partnerships that strengthen Alberta’s cultural community and preserve our cultural legacy.
To apply for a position on the council, visit www.jobs.alberta.ca and enter in competition number 49578. The closing date for this competition is July 4.
