Building a dream (Nanaimo)
Camela Tang wants Nanaimo to be a place people want to stay – and that their children want to move back to.
Her work to build Nanaimo’s arts scene, by securing funding, buildings and recognition for artists, earned her the Honour in Culture Award from the City of Nanaimo.
“It is a wonderful honour but boy, was I surprised,” Camela said. “When you’re in the trenches you don’t see what you acheived until someone writes about it.”
The award was presented during a ceremony in March, where Carmella Luvisotto was also presented with the Excellence in Culture Award for her 13 years of dedication as band director at Wellington Secondary School.
