Nanaimo News Notes March 31, 2011

New Exhibit: at the Nanaimo Museum focuses on the robust community of coal mines, trains, families and farming in the area south of Nanaimo known as South Wellington. Photos and artifacts provide a glimpse into this area based on the book Treasures of South Wellington written by Clare Singleton.

Art for Life: aims to help the Nanaimo Hospital ER expansion raise funds with the Art for Life exhibit on Apr. 2-3 at Gallery 223 Commercial Street. 20% of all sales will go to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.

Escape Fire: Thanks to a neighbour a father and son living on Barclay Road escaped their burning house. In what is described as suspicious, a fire started in and destroyed their van, with the fire spreading to their home. No one was hurt in the incident.

VIUFA: will be able to picket the trades area of campus, after the Labour Relations Board dismissed an application by VIU to restrict pickets on the campus.

B & E: Mark's Work Wearhouse on Metral Drive was the target of a determined thief sometime early Wednesday. The crook gained entry by using a power saw to cut through the outside wall, once inside he/she dashed through the store, with alarms sounding, grabbing misc. articles of clothing before making good their escape. A tracking dog was unable to assist in locating the clothing thief. Anyone with information should call the RCMP at 250-754-2345.
