Ladysmith and Qualicum Beach are both in the process of getting new skateparks for their towns. An open house Wednesday night will provide residents of Ladysmith the chance to way in on different proposed designs for a new skatepark, while in Qualicum Beach, shovels are set to go in the ground for a park that could open as soon as next summer, after organizers were tasked with raising $300,000 to make the project happen.
