NEWS RELEASE - Distributed February 6, 2015 1:45 PM

Summary

On Wednesday, February 4th, Nanaimo City Council met to review options supporting the continuance of the City's 15 committees. Following a review of committee mandates, Council voted to reappoint members using the current structure, with two exceptions - it was decided to combine four previously independent committees into two new committees, Culture and Heritage and Transportation and Planning.

Additional work supporting the future makeup of committees will take place over the next several weeks to fill current openings. Following notification on the City's website, members of the public who are interested in sitting on a committee are encouraged to submit their interest to the City.

Key Points

  • Committees are now set to resume, with vacant seats being filled as required.
  • Four committees have been merged to create two new committees - Culture and Hertiage and Planning and Transportation.
