Our Nanaimo

We're a grassroots nonpartisan group with 3 goals: holding city hall accountable for good governance; better city planning; getting ready for Election 2018.

Well done new Councillors! Starting to, as Clllr @donbonner said, change the direction of the big ship. Cllr @tylerjbrown2018 motion to include in the preliminary budget an Active Transportation Coordinator passed! 6-3.

Watching the Nanaimo Council interim budget townhall...

Councillor Armstrong has repeatedly justified her refusal to approve pedestrian safety improvements because they need money to pay for 4 more firemen ... to respond to motor vehicle collisions...

Nanaimo is the next stop for @j_mcelroy in Part 4 of Metro Matters: On The Road. Its big challenges are unique in that the government itself has been the problem, beset by numerous controversies; the new team led by @mayorkrog is working on changing that.

Local government in Nanaimo was, um, not great over the past four years.

Here's how new mayor Leonard Krog and Co. are looking to change that.

(Hint: it starts with good manners)

Unsure what I enjoy most in this, one of Nanaimo’s many Tributes To Coal: the sculpture of the coal, the typeface, or the official plaque below, explaining its significance
