Two shootings have taken place near the encampment so far this year
Neighbourhood residents held a rally Tuesday calling on the City of Nanaimo and province to set up a working group to plan how to deal with a camp at the foot of a slope next to the Millstone River.
It was the latest rally by unhappy Nanaimo residents frustrated by ongoing social disorder in the city, prompting protests for several months. Like other communities, Nanaimo is dealing with a population of unhoused residents, many of whom have mental health and addictions issues. “It’s hard to imagine the amount of human waste created there in that time by dozens of people,” Kuwica said. “Then there is the toxic medical waste and literally tonnes of garbage all making its way into the Millstone River, a protected salmon-bearing stream.”
