Nanaimo Information - Work, play, live…Nanaimo is a great city of choice!

Nanaimo is a vibrant, fun city complemented by natural beauty and some of the mildest weather in all of Canada. While most people associate rain with western B.C., Nanaimo info boasts moderate precipitation, sunny, warm summers and gentle winters. Named one of the most comfortable cities in the country by Environment Canada  (2003) information, newcomers may be surprised by the weather, but they’ll soon find themselves joining in all the outdoor activities that the region has to offer.

Because Nanaimo is centrally located, and Vancouver Island’s second largest city, getting from place to place is a snap. Automobile and foot passenger ferries connect travelers to Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, Tsawwassen, just south of Vancouver, Protection Island, and to Gabriola Island. Planes and seaplanes also make frequent flights, while long distance buses, Via Rail, community buses, and taxi-cabs combine to take residents where they want to go.

If you don’t want to leave home, but crave a nature hike, try the ten-minute ride on a passenger-only ferry to Newcastle Island Provincial Park. You can hike, picnic, and just absorb the ambience.

In addition to hiking, the local waters offer enthusiasts an abundance of activities from which to choose. Scuba divers can explore artificial reefs made by a sunken retired destroyer and a supply ship, while scenic waters, protected ports, and moorages are all available for kayakers and boating devotees. For those of you who prefer to watch water activities, The Harbourside Walkway is a fantastic scenic stroll along the water’s edge.

And while you’re out and about, have a wander through the downtown area. Along the narrow, old streets there is a mix of restaurants, boutiques, clothing and specialty shops, as well as a new library, bookstores, bakeries, coffee shops and travel agencies. Nanaimo is also home to the state-of-the-art Port Theatre, a fantastic, modern, civic theatre located below the shops, near the water.

When the weather’s grey or you’re in need of a change, step into one of the large indoor shopping malls. Nanaimo isn’t referred to as “Vancouver Island’s Shopping Capitol” for nothing. Woodgrove Mall is the largest on the island and once you’re inside, you’ll find everything you need to decorate your new Nanaimo home.

Whether you’re a student at Nanaimo’s excellent Malaspina University-College, putting in a full work week, starting your own business, or already retired, Nanaimo is an excellent place to tee off. Buy a home here, and you’ll find you live in a golfers’ paradise. Play locally, or take a drive, but either way there are eighteen golf courses within a one-hour drive of Nanaimo.
