BIA adds marketing position

Five people were acclaimed to the Creemore Business Improvement Area (BIA) committee at its election Wednesday.

They are Rick Burek, owner of Mad and Noisy Gallery, Chris Dunk, owner of Curiosity House Books and Gallery. Also on the committee are Clearview residents Jim Pearse, Elise Beauregard and John Shore.

Corey Finkelstein will move into the role of past president and Clearview Councillor Thom Paterson will remain on as council representative.

The next step is for Clearview council to appoint those elected to the board in January and then the members will elect people to the various executive positions.

Finkelstein said the board has been expanded to seven members, adding a new director of marketing position.

“The energy was great, people were really enthusiastic,” said Finkelstein.
