The secret is out; Nanaimo is a great place to host events. Nanaimo has declared sport one of the City’s top priorities, demonstrated by the ongoing investment in facility build and upgrade, including the Nanaimo Ice Centre, Stadium District, Oliver Woods Community Centre, Beban Park Complex and the Stevie Smith Bike Park, and the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre.
Nanaimo doesn’t roll up the sidewalks when the trophies arrive—and neither should your event. The Sports Hosting Toolkit is your starting point to do it right.
