Tim Chapman is hoping his new position at the International Peace Garden will be one for a lifetime.
Chapman arrived at the Garden and his new CEO position on Thursday, April 26, and he is getting settled in.
“It’s going really well,” said Chapman, who replaces Garry Enns. “I was at the first annual meeting, and it was really informative. Everything is going in a good direction and I’m glad to be a part of it.”
