Nanaimo, British Columbia

Welcome to the Harbour City, located on the Straits of Georgia on the east coast of Vancouver Island, 111 kilometers (68 miles) north of Victoria.

With a growing population of about 73,000, Nanaimo is the locale for the Island's conferences and conventions. Conveniently, the city is the regional service center for mid- and north-Vancouver Island – you have all the important amenities here! And getting around in Nanaimo is easy. There is a local airport and two ferries to the mainland, as well as shuttles, taxis, and car rentals. But Nanaimo's real claim to fame is, of course, the Nanaimo Bar, the chocolate squares that kids everywhere love.

And as the home city of the Vancouver Island Symphony Orchestra, along with the Port Theatre, and many pubs and clubs, there are plenty of live music shows to choose from. For city spirit, visit the annual bathtub races, the Island Exhibition, Children's Festival, and maple sugar tasting. It seems that there is always a festival or event of some sort going on! And if you're a seafood aficionado, it doesn't get any fresher! The harbor is full of fishing boats bringing the latest fresh catch to shore.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of big-city living, Nanaimo has the best of everything – convenience, low cost of living, and pleasant Pacific weather.
