Nanoose First Nation lobbying for waterfront park
NANAIMO — The chief of Nanoose First Nation has the attention of the Department of National Defence.
Brent Edwards is pushing to convert a portion of nearby Department of National Defence property on the CF METR site into a national park.
He says a section of waterfront property at Wallis Point directly across from their breakwater is not being used and would serve as an excellent national park.
“I don’t see why they can’t be making a portion of that into a water accessible park. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world and we need to be taking the Department of National Defence to task on that,” says Edwards.
