Jackie Bolen for Nanaimo City Council 2026

Jackie Bolen for Nanaimo City Council in 2026. Vote on October 17th. 

Global warming and food security are the most pressing issues of our time. If we don’t have healthy land, water, and air, we essentially have nothing.

I will always vote AGAINST…
Turning agricultural land into industrial use land
Removing trees
Destroying sensitive wetlands (for example, Rock City) and other important ecosystems (for example, Cable Bay)
Policies that make it difficult for Nanaimo residents to grow or raise their own food
AI data centres
Single-use plastics in all forms
Noise and light pollution
Invasive species
The use of fossil fuels

I will always vote FOR…
The urban forest canopy
Protecting natural landscapes, especially the few remaining Garry Oak ecosystems like Harewood Plains
Green infrastructure and green buildings
Renewable energy
More robust bylaws related to the environment
Projects that reduce Nanaimo’s carbon footprint
Food security and fair food prices
