Young Voters: seem to be paying attention and getting engaged in the upcoming Federal election. That is really good news for the democratic process, which is in decline of late.
Daily News Debates: the local daily is hosting two candidate debates which can be viewed online. The four candidates from Nanaimo-Alberni are scheduled for today and the Nanaimo-Cowichan candidates are scheduled for Thursday this week. The event is not open to the public but can be viewed online. For more information.
College Heights Playground: three moms in College Heights are responsible for the conception, planning, funding, organizing and bringing to completion a project which will see Cariboo Park come into their neighbourhood. It will provide area children a much needed facility which will encourage them to get outside, get active and enjoy the great outdoors. Well done!
Spring Break: will return to one week again next year. The School Board has decided the $500,000 saved by extending the break to 2 weeks is not the appropriate way to cut costs.
Canucks Do or Die: OK, I know this is not really Nanaimo news, but who isn't a Canucks fan these days, granted, the last three games have been a good test of fan loyalty. But the game tonight against Chicago in Vancouver is for all the marbles so it will be interesting to see if anyone is paying attention to anything else tonight.
