During a dedicated event at City Hall starting 11 a.m. Sunday, June 21, Nanaimo City Mayor, Bill McKay, along with Snuneymuxw First Nations Chief, John Wesley; Member of Parliament, Jean Crowder; and Member of the BC Legislative Assembly, Leonard Krog, will mark National Aboriginal Day in Nanaimo with the permanent placement of the Snuneymuxw First Nations flag atop City Hall.

"The permanent placement of the Snuneymuxw flag alongside the City and Provincial flags at City Hall this Sunday is long overdue.
