BC Ferries at Departure Bay is requesting a city variance to allow for 3 large LED signs where only one is permitted and where each sign will be double the size permitted and this will cost us $300,000 through our ferry fares. BC Ferries is asking Nanaimo City Council to go against the Bylaws and Guidlines that keep our city livable; we should not allow this "private" corporation to inflict ugliness on us to reach its own misguided goal of showing us commercials, or in their words "communicating" with us.
