Provincial official asks Nanaimo council to delay vote to approve project; mediation suggested to resolve conflict
Plans to build 760 homes in Nanaimo near the Millstone River have been delayed after the Snuneymuxw First Nation said its concerns have not been properly addressed.
But after receiving a Friday letter from Tom McCarthy, deputy minister with the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, council agreed to defer the vote until Sept. 25. Chief Mike Wyse warned then that the project could face delays if the nation’s concerns were not addressed.
