Preserve and expand the Cable Bay Trail Area
Preserve and expand the Cable Bay Trail Area
The Issue
The lands on the west side are owned by Nanaimo Forest Products Limited (NFPL) and they have proposed industrial lots as close as 50 m from the trail! The lands on the east side of the trail are privately owned and another major development has been proposed (34 lots and expanded roads).
These lands connect to Joan Point Park/Dodd Narrows and they form a loop/short cut to Joan Point. They are also widely used by the public. The forest surrounding this area is full of wildlife. Garry Oak meadows are throughout and are home to rare and endangered plants.
We need to protect these ecosystems and make this entire area a park for all to enjoy. The City of Nanaimo is listening to concerned trail users and the over 21,000 people who have signed a Petition requesting this area become a park. Tell your mayor and councillors that Cable Bay needs to become a park for all to enjoy before it's too late.
