An exciting addition to the active transpo network in Nanaimo! Bowen Park is such a vibrant central space in the city, and these improvements will make it even more so. Can’t wait to pedal through it with my disc golf gear in tow🚲

thinking of the lives that were lost and the individuals who fight every day to exist. Protect Trans Lives | Protect Trans Rights. Not just one week of the year, take time today to become informed.

This case in #Victoria really highlights the difficulties of planning for a whole community. However, it is something planners have to get better at and should learn from past mistakes.
