Moonlight Skiing and Snowshoeing at Beaver Lake
The ten miles of trails at Beaver Lake Nature Center will remain open late this weekend (until 9 p.m. and if there is adequate snow on the ground) to allow skiers and snowshoers a chance to enjoy them under the stars and moonlight. Organizers ask participants to sign in and out and bring a friend and a flashlight. Social distancing when necessary and masks are required.
CEO, Meg Wilson
THE ACT Writers Centre has announced that it has officially appointed arts and writing advocate, Meg Wilson, to the role of chief executive officer.
Wilson has been acting as the interim director since February, following the departure of former director, Paul Bissett, but her position has now been formalised under the updated title of CEO.
Writers Centre chair, Sophie Mannix, said the organisation had conducted an extensive national, competitive hiring process before appointing Wilson, whom she described as an arts administrator who had expertly managed the centre through the turbulent period marked by COVID-19, adding, “She also brings strong networks from within Canberra’s literary community, a passion for advocating for writers from all backgrounds, and a vibrant vision for the future of the Australian arts sector”.
