2016/17 City of Nanaimo Street Banners Installed

This year's design by Patrick Belanger

NEWS RELEASE - Distributed April 29, 2016 10:00 AM

Summary

In late 2015, the City of Nanaimo invited all amateur and professional artists to submit designs for the 2016/17 Street Banner Design Competition. Submissions were received by 12 artists.

The successful banner design, by local artist Patrick Belanger, has now been installed on lamp posts on major streets throughout Nanaimo. This year's banner design was inspired by the theme "Culture in Horticulture" and, through Patrick's artistic interpretation, pays tribute to Nanaimo's unique ecosystem and heritage.

The banner program has been brightening our city streets and corridors for close to 30 years.
