Cindy Reid has been appointed Firehall Arts Centre's new Managing Director. Cindy joins the team on August 2, 2022.

In making this announcement, Spencer said, "I have known Cindy for a long time, having worked with her on the Greater Vancouver Theatre Alliance board and in her previous positions. Cindy's knowledge and experience in human resources, venue management and fund development, coupled with her passion for the arts, makes her a great addition to the Firehall team."
