OTTAWA – Canadian Heritage announced late last month the appointment of two members to the National Film Board.
Ana Serrano of Toronto and Victoria Wing Chi Chan of Merritt, British Columbia, have been appointed for a term of three years, the latter on a part-time basis.
Serrano is the president and vice chancellor of OCAD University, an art and design, practice and research institution. She is also a managing director at the Canadian Film Centre. A Cartt search of Chan did not yield much information.
The board was created in 1939 as an agency of Heritage to create, produce and distribute audiovisual productions that “reflect the diverse realities and perspectives of Canadians,” its website says.
It has eight members, including the commissioner Suzanne Guèvremont – named to the post in November – and one ex officio member who is the executive director of Telefilm.
