The death of a retired teacher this summer has prompted renewed calls for a cell tower to plug a gap in coverage in Nanaimo’s Hammond Bay area.
Gillies said it’s critical that a cell tower be installed to provide coverage, noting that the Hammond Bay area, which is in the north end of the city, has grown significantly in the past decade. Nanaimo is a fast-growing community with about half its 100,000 population in the north end, said Miles, who urged local government officials and telecommunications companies to address the issue promptly.
Decisions to approve a new cell tower are made by Industry Canada, which solicits feedback from a municipality when it’s considering an application. Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog said Thursday that a cell tower for the Hammond Bay area is necessary, especially in light of Ken Gillies’ death.
