Nanaimo’s council considers banning camping in two downtown parks

It’s likely that overnight camping in two neighbourhood parks in downtown Nanaimo will soon be banned.
City council voted unanimously at its meeting on June 1, to prepare a bylaw amendment that would see Nob Hill Park and Deverill Square Park added to the list of parks where temporary shelter and overnight accommodations are prohibited.
Coun. Erin Hemmens introduced the motion after many weeks of dialogue with representatives from the South End Community Association, the Milton-Hecate Bloc
