25 Victoria Road - Taxpayers' Interest Protected?

Is Anyone At City Hall Paying Attention?


I was alerted to the fact there was dumpster now sitting outside the city owned building at 25 Victoria Road on Sunday June 29. Being a curious fellow I went by and checked it out and snapped this picture. At about 5:00 pm on June 29 there was absolutely nothing in the dumpster and no activity in the building.

The group led by Camella Tang are vacating the building as of June 30 after having being paid $11,350 to manage the facility until the end of the year. ( Is the city taking steps to recover the $5675 they paid for the six months remaining in 2014?).

The question arises, what exactly is this group doing that requires a dumpster on site. They don't own the building and since everything attached to the building is the property of the city of Nanaimo, I can't imagine what they would be removing and putting in the dumpster.

I have sent a letter to our Mayor and Councillors and will bring readers up to date when I hear from them.

  1. Maybe the dumpster is Mrs. Tang's ark?

    Tang is president of Centre Stage and president of the society which wants $5.1 million to build a boathouse on city land, to be made a city facility, with a non-profit getting $100,000 a year to manage and for taxpayers to pay for all its repairs and maintenance.

    The boathouse sounds like the new and improved version of the falling-apart Centre Stage - with more money needed.

    Perhaps this dumpster is for all the city taxpayer's money we will never see again?
