EDMONTON, May 15, 2019 /CNW/ - Mr. Sine Chadi,
Chairman of the Board of Imperial Equities Inc. (TSX-V:IEI)
("Imperial" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that Dr.
Robert Westbury has been appointed a
director of Imperial Equities Inc.
Dr. Westbury's work history, culminating in his current position
as TELUS' Chief Advisor, Capital Region Relations & Innovation
since 2011, is impressive; his involvement in the community and the
list of awards and honours bestowed upon him are perhaps even more
so. His community activities are too numerous to list, but
highlights include serving on the Citadel Theatre Board of
Governors, the Capital Region United Way Campaign Cabinet, the
TELUS World of Science Foundation, the Northlands Board of
Governors and the Edmonton Homeless Commission. He has
received the Queen's Jubilee Medal (2002), the Alberta Centennial
Medal (2005), the Alberta Star of the Millennium Volunteer Award
(2005) and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Medal (2012). Dr. Westbury is a member of the Order of
Canada (2011) and of the Alberta
Order of Excellence (2012), and has been inducted into the
City of Edmonton's Community
Service Hall of Fame (2011). He holds an Honourary Doctor of
Laws degree from the University of
Alberta (2007), and 84 Avenue in Edmonton was renamed Westbury Way in his honour (2010).
Dr. Westbury has earned Bachelor degrees in Arts and Education,
a Graduate Diploma in Administration, a Masters of Education Degree
and his PhD.
"We are extremely humbled and proud to have someone of Dr.
Westbury's calibre on the Board of Imperial," said Sine Chadi.
"Edmonton, Alberta, and
indeed Canada are all the better
thanks to Dr. Westbury's long-standing and well-known advocacy for
his community and its causes. His experience, energy and
talent are a welcome addition to our Board."
Dr. Westbury's appointment has been approved by the Board of
Imperial and is subject to regulatory approval.
