NANAIMO – The City of Nanaimo is wanting residents to visit its website to learn more about a proposed events centre project that could be built on one of two possible downtown locations – the Howard Johnson site located at Comox Road and Terminal Avenue and the 1 Port Drive site located on the south downtown waterfront.
“We are looking forward to hearing the public’s feedback on the proposed events centre,” says councillor Bill Bestwick. “We encourage everyone to share their thoughts through the various methods that are now available.”
Having reviewed the available reports and presentation, residents can share their feedback via a range of options including one of three public engagement sessions starting November 24 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM in the Beban Park Social Centre.
Can’t attend the meeting the November 24? Those still wanting to participate can do so on December 1 and December 8, same place, same time. As well, the City’s website hosts additional feedback resources including a short survey and a feedback email. And finally, starting next week, a phone survey targeting 500 random homes is set to start.
At this time, no decisions have been made for the proposed Events Centre; the current focus is to collect information and receive feedback from the public.
