YMCA-YWCA Sculptural Donor Structure:
Geert Maas has created a commissioned sculptural donor structure to recognize donors to the Kelowna YMCA-YWCA Capital Expansion Campaign. The monument located in the main lobby of the Kelowna Family YMCA-YWCA in the Rutland neighbourhood was unveiled on September 7 together with the expanded facility. Total height of this stainless steel artwork is 3.66 m. (12 ft). The sculptural structure has been decorated with mirror finished stainless steel imagery of running youth and faces as well as the logos and core values of the Y: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. Four panels that are part of the monument have given ample space for the extensive engravings.

MADD Monument:
A sculpture in stainless steel and bronze commissioned by MADD Canada - Mothers Against Drunk Driving has been installed. The Monument dedicated to leaving a legacy to victims of impaired driving, and to educating the public about the dangers of impaired driving is located in Central Park, Burnaby, B.C., intersection Kingsway, and Boundary Road, Vancouver.

Geert was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award during the annual Okanagan Arts Awards on March 4th, 2010. He was selected from six nominees in that category.

Bronze medallions of the SPIRIT OF KELOWNA community public art project have been permanently installed in two special earth rammed walls in the entrance foyer of Kelowna City Hall involving hundreds of residents.
