Would it be possible to have a section here devoted to music and arts in Nanaimo? With the creation of the Beat of the Street society, as well as the busking thread being one of the most read/visited/participated in, I think that a section where people can post what's happening with regards to information forums, concerts, cultural days, busking, even what's happening with the different societies and where people can post updates on meetings, dates of different events, would be a great addition to the Nanaimo Information Forum!
