Let the City of Nanaimo complete due diligence on the Colliery Dams

Let the City of Nanaimo complete due diligence on the Colliery Dams

The Issue

A reasonable amount of time is needed to finish studies and complete due diligence in order to proceed with a remediation plan that is financially sound and meets the needs of our community. We need your support.

Excessive spending of our tax payer money is not warranted. Suitable remediation options to mitigate the risk have not been properly explored, and the current two options do not meet the needs of the tax payers and the community. The cost-benefit ratio is not financially sensible whatsoever (spending $3-10 million in order to prevent $2 million in potential risk).

As well, the excessive amount of invasive destruction that would be incurred by these two options within this Community Registered Heritage Park is simply unacceptable given that there are other remediation options to pursue which are both less expensive and less intrusive.
