Nanaimo's citizens showed how much they care about their city as they packed Beban Park Auditorium and listened attentively to candidates sharing their ideas about the big issues; planning, community consultation, good financial management and economic development. Over 600 people attended, listened, and pitched in at the end to put away chairs and tables and tidy up the auditorium. That is community spirit!
• Please let us know what you thought about candidates' comments on these issues. Did they tell you what you wanted to know? And are there other topics that should be discussed before this election?
You can post your comments directly, or send them to CDNcomment@gmail.com
Our thanks to.....
• Many thanks to moderator Mark Forsythe who skillfully handled the discussion.
• And thanks to all the neighbourhood and community groups whose volunteer time made the event happen, to sound technician Andrew Nicholls and videographer Paul Manly, and to the very helpful staff at Beban Park.
