The idea of installing a video camera at the Lower Colliery Dam to live-stream construction of the auxiliary spillway got support from Nanaimo City Council on Monday night.
The motion was Councillor Bill Bestwick’s idea. He says it would be a great way to keep tabs on the project and keep the public in the loop.
Councillor Gord Fuller says streaming video 24/7 via the city’s website can’t be that hard.
Councillor Jerry Hong liked the idea, and said he hopes the camera can eventually be used to live-stream other events.
Councillor Jim Kipp was the only one who voted against the motion, saying he can’t support spending any more money on the dam project.
