Ladysmith Mayor Aaron Stone says he is in discussions with Chief John Elliot of the Stz’uminus First Nation
Ladysmith boaters are watching anxiously now that talks are underway between the town and Stz’uminus First Nation about the future use of the water lot that’s now home to a non-profit community marina.
The lease is now held by the town, which has an agreement with the Ladysmith Maritime Society to operate the community marina. The society is hoping the marina can remain in the location where it’s been for nearly 40 years. Thousands of volunteer hours have been invested in the marina, its assets and in education and cultural programs, the society says.Martin Tang, one of about 170 boaters who moor at the marina on an annual basis, worries about what will happen if the society is evicted, given the lack of other options. “There is nowhere for us to go,” said Tang, who moors his 37-foot sailboat at the facility.
