March 18, 2022 – Old City Cleanup Party

Mark your calendars for the second annual “Old City Clean Up” on Saturday, April 30 from 10 am to 3 pm. Get outside and clean your yards, boulevards, and streets. Mow your lawn, pick up garbage, tidy your yard and help a neighbour. Take a before & after photo and tag us! Meet up at the White Rabbit Cafe (321 Selby Street) at 3:30 pm to celebrate!

Garbage bags and pickers are available from 10 am to 11 am at Pawson Park.(corner of Machleary and Franklyn Streets). Garbage bags can be dropped off opposite Pawson Park at old hospital site before 3 pm. Garbage will be removed by the City of Nanaimo at 3 pm sharp!

Thank you to the City of Nanaimo Local Government for our garbage bag donation and pick up.

February 22, 2022 – Beautify the Boulevards and Alleyways in the Old City!

Join us on Sunday, March 13, 2022 from 1 to 4 pm at Pawson Park (corner of Franklyn and Machleary streets) as we kick off this new project!

What does a beautiful neighbourhood look like?
You may have noticed some of our fellow Old City area residents have made gardens on the street side
of their homes. We’d like to help you do the same. NOCA has formed a committee to help you develop a small garden near your home. This could be in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb, within a traffic calming ‘bump out’ like those along the 300 and 400 blocks of Milton Street, or any roadside green space you would like to transform.
We can offer design help, examples of current boulevard gardens, seeds, plants, gardening tips, and manual labour to get you started. Contact us if you live in the old city and would like a free seed package with various plants to start beautifying your boulevard. Packages will be handed out March 13.
Your ideal boulevard planting might include drought resistant, food, ornamental, or pollinator attracting plants, or a combination. Learn more by coming to our project kick off on Sunday, March 13, 2022.
