Council to announce new Board appointments as part of Monday session

It will be appointment night in Prince Rupert tonight, as Council members reveal some of their recent decisions from an April Closed Meeting of City Council which saw a number of local residents appointed to three Boards which the City oversees.

The appointments to the assorted Boards came after a call for applicants from the first week of April

All of the appointments which were made during the Closed council session of April 23rd, saw Council appoint 10 Rupertites to positions in three areas of Council's overview.

Prince Rupert Airport Authority

The Advisory Board on aviation and the Prince Rupert Airport will see three appointments to a two year term in place, with Ms.Gloria Rendell, Mr. Kelly Sawchuk and Mr. Knut Bjorndal all returning to the Board.

The Board provided for a bit of controversy last year when Prince Rupert City Council changed the make up of the Authority, installing  three members of City Staff onto the board, as well as to appoint Paul Venditelli as the Board Chair.
