Some local kids had a blast at a recent cross-generational exhibition in the Secret Gallery at Anvil Centre.
The New Media Gallery put together the recent Making Scaries exhibition in the pop-up gallery space that displays works created in the children’s art programs at Anvil Centre. Making Scaries tied into The Scary exhibition.
Works by artists as young as four have been featured in the pop-up gallery.
The exhibition was collaboration between local kids and seniors, who worked together to talk about the meaning of “scary.”
The next show in the Secret Gallery takes place in the spring, so stayed tuned.
Kudos to New Westminster
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has recognized the city for its efforts at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The City of New Westminster was recognized as a national leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Highlighted as one of 31 municipalities in Canada, the city has achieved the final milestone in the Partners for Climate Protection program.
"Environmental stewardship is a core value in the policies and programs of New Westminster,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a press release. “From the duel fuel vehicles at the police department and city works yard, to the high-efficiency boilers and heat-recovery systems in our civic buildings, New Westminster has excelled in its energy-saving projects.”
The Partners for Climate Protection program consists of a five-milestone framework used to guide and support municipalities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The program focuses on reductions in four areas: buildings, lighting, water and vehicles.
According to a press release from the city, the City of New Westminster has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 9.5 per cent or 406 tonnes of CO2 during its participation in the program.

The city is continuing to monitor and report on greenhouse gas reductions and to seek new opportunities to further reduce energy emissions and build a community that is both efficient and ready for the future, the release says.
