Not Just Round is the latest exhibition coming to the Port Moody Arts Centre. The process of woodturning usually implies that the finished piece is round. For this show, the Greater Vancouver Woodturners Guild asked its members to explore what else could be achieved. This didn't mean abandoning "round," but rather looking for interesting and innovative ways to combine it with something else; be that texture, colour, form or material.

Tonight, we have two pieces on display from woodturner Des Wilson. A natural edge jewellery box and a natural edge bowl. Des' interest in woodturning started about 15 years ago. After leaving the world of academe, he has been able to concentrate on his passion for working
with wood through furniture making, wooden boat building, and especially turning various objects, mostly from wood found in his garden. Des thinks it's an extraordinary luxury to be able to spend much of his time turning what often is generally regarded as firewood into a variety of bowls, boxes and vases.
Des Wilson spoke briefly about woodturning and thanked Council for inviting him to the meeting and for highlighting the Greater Vancouver Woodturners Guild. Mr. Wilson noted that the exhibit Not Just Round opens on Thursday, January 15, 2015 at 6:00pm at the Port Moody Arts Centre.

2. Public Input
Peter Dasnieres, Port Moody, asked whether the Official Community Plan will be reopened for a Public Hearing, and whether the Murray-Clarke Connector Initiative will be reinstated.
Jim Millar, Port Moody, thanked Council for their support of the Walk for Peace, during which the participants walked 100km to Victoria, BC to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War. Mr. Millar noted that he was only able to walk 80km in 27 hours, but joined the others who completed the 100km at the BC Legislature, where they were welcomed and their efforts recognized.
Ilse Leis, Port Moody, requested that an additional member be added to the Terms of Reference for the Advisory Design Panel to consider parks and recreation facility needs in the community, noting that with the addition of development, the need for parks and recreation facilities increases. Ms. Leis also spoke in opposition to any zoning changes to allow commercial production of medical marihuana in Port Moody.

J Peachy introduced himself and the Canadian South Therapy Arts Society to Council, and provided an overview of the events held by the society in 2014, including the Burrard Inlet Fish Fest, which was highly successful and will be held again in 2015. Mr. Peachy noted that he will be working with City staff to plan the festival in 2015, and looks forward to the City's support.
