E & N: it seems the provincial government is unable to figure out how to find some spare cash to help fund the Island rail line, but did however discover a paltry $1.4 billion to extend Sky Train.
CIBC: in Port Place Mall (formerly Harbour Park) will be holding their grand re-opening of their newly renovated $2 million location on April 29. Apparently the bank will not be handing out free samples of their 'product'.
City Ambassadors: Miss Nanaimo Ambassador and the two vice-ambassadors have been chosen for 2011. Megan Cawthorne a grade 12 student at Cedar Community Secondary has been selected as Ambassador while NDSS student Fallon Benson and Dover Bay student Carmen Haarsma have been chosen vice-ambassadors. They will be seen around town attending a wide variety of events and functions.
VICC: will be able to host a wider variety of events with the change to a liquor-primary license instead of the existing food-primary license. A local promoter now intends to host a body painting event in the VICC this Sept. after being refused earlier because of the liquor licensing that was in place.
Olson Stays: Michael Olson has announced his acceptance of the assistant coach position with the Nanaimo Clippers who are obviously in a transition period with the change in head coach and manager as previous coach Bill Bestwick was recently kicked under the bus.
Election Idea?: apparently the city is looking into the possibility of contracting out the next civic election in the interest of saving some tax dollars. The current system costs about $150,000 and how much could actually be saved is an unknown. Stay tuned as council scrambles to hold the line on taxes.
