The B.C. 55-Plus Games are coming to Nanaimo next year and preparations have already started with the appointments of two key leadership positions.
Diana Johnstone has accepted the role as president and Mary Smith as vice-president to lead the formation of a board of directors. Both are volunteer positions appointed by Nanaimo city council.
The first tasks for Johnstone and Smith will be to oversee the establishment of a nomination committee which will assemble an 11-member board of directors.
