Outcome of Council deliberations: Council selected and endorsed two projects— the Loudon Paddling Centre project and Rotary Bowl Track Replacement project— for grant applications under the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program.
About the Loudon Paddling Centre Project:
- The Loudon Boathouse project presents an opportunity for the City to collaborate with the Long Lake Flatwater Training Society and Rotary Club of Nanaimo North to achieve the new public facility.

A co-management agreement would be established for its shared operation.

About the Rotary Bowl Track Replacement Project:

In addition to the damage from wear, there have also been issues with tree roots from Lombardi Poplars adjacent to the track surface. The proposed project consists of replacing the existing track surface including:
- 8 lanes x 400m running track;
- 8 lane sprint runway;
- 2 lane long/triple jump runway;
- Pole vault runway; and,
- High jump oval area.
- Estimated Construction Cost: $1.2 million
- Grant Application: $1 million
- City Share: $0.2 million
