TORONTO, July 7: Gerry Noble, who spent several years in
various leadership positions at Canwest Global Communications, has been tapped

management team with complementary skill sets working on both coasts and on
both sides of the border.”

“Peace Arch is a great company with accomplished management,
dedicated employees, and a solid base of operations,” Noble added. “The Peace
Arch team has done a tremendous job over the past year restructuring their
operations and refocusing its approach to the business, and I'm very excited
about the opportunity to help build on that momentum and make the company a
success."
