A dead zone that just cannot get off the ground and seems to never move forward. Nanaimo had a lot going back a number of years ago and was a fun town with activity and culture. Now so much red tape just circles the empty box this town represents today.

This is a big loss to our community. Meddling where not needed is apparently becoming the norm of the city council. Not a good trend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574837432999048774.post-80251821156406640272015-02-19T08:12:46.329-08:002015-02-19T08:12:46.329-08:00Another long time tradition bites the dust.

This erosion of parts of our culture will never end. <br />It is a sad day when our British Heritage cannot be celebrated according to tradition. <br />This is a an example of discrimination. Nanaimo celebrating the British Empire hurts no one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574837432999048774.post-77396796516308965492015-02-18T21:36:46.633-08:002015-02-18T21:36:46.633-08:00No fireworks, no parade - but at least council can...No fireworks, no parade - but at least council can be thanked for meddling in a name they should have nothing to do with.
