Janice our long serving Ocean Park Day Events Coordinator has now stepped up to the plate to undertake being the chair of White Rock's Spirit of the Sea Festival for summer 2010.

The Peace Arch News has this to say about her commitment:

As of this week, Janice Savage is head of both the August long-weekend festival and the organization that presents it, the Community of Lights Events Society. Savage, who was the festival’s entertainment producer, takes over from Matt Todd, who resigned last week citing a need to focus on his schooling, as well as insufficient time and funds to pull the festival off this year.

Savage said news of Todd’s resignation coupled with an appeal for more volunteers and sponsors resulted in a crowded meeting at Small Ritual Coffee Monday – so much so that a larger venue will be used for future meetings.

A Peace Arch News story June 18 brought out new people “and lots more interest,” she said. “We’ve got ... new people coming in all the time with lots of great ideas.

“It looks like we’re going to be just fine. It’s not going to be small-scale, that’s for sure.”

"Confirmed events include the torchlight parade, entertainment stages, marketplace and children’s parade and activities. While more sponsors have come on board, a commitment is still needed in order to include fireworks", Janice said.
