The City of Nelson prepares as Council voted unanimously to see the new electric-ready Kootenay Lake Ferry project built locally.
“This is a positive step forward for the community and I am looking forward to seeing this project take shape,” said Mayor John Dooley following the February 9, 2021 vote. “Positive not only for our community but the surrounding area as well.”
Concerns were brought to Western Pacific Marine regarding the $63 million project, including transportation, noise pollution and why the site was chosen over others.

Nelson Mayor John Dooley believes the decision to close the Civic Centre arena could have been resolved and kept children engaged.
The closing of the Civic Centre’s ice sheet should not have happened had it been given more thought and consideration of the impact on the community ahead of time, says the mayor of Nelson.
John Dooley felt the elimination of the second sheet of ice in the city on Jan. 29 due to decreased revenue directly related to a Public Health Order restricting adult hockey required more tact and consideration in light of the COVID-19 pandemic still gripping the city.
Defensive gameplan surrenders two vital points 1 Posted 27/01/2021 at 19:21:38 Central midfield is the obvious worry. I fear we will miss Iwobi s input and we look soft down the right but here s hoping. Looking forward to it. Kieran Kinsella Is Tosun injured? 3 Posted 27/01/2021 at 19:29:35 I m hoping Holgate is in midfield, the team I hoped for in my comment last night! Jay Wood 4 Posted 27/01/2021 at 19:33:17 That looks similar to how we set up v Wolves which led some to believe before KO it was a back 5.
I reckon it will be the flat back 4 of centre backs that has served us so well in recent weeks with Digne again playing in front of Godfrey down the left.
