Social Sustainability
Nanaimo Cultural Strategy
As our community's cultural resources grow and mature, the positive impact on our community increases dramatically. Cultural organizations, in partnership with the City of Nanaimo, are instrumental in further developing an aesthetic environment and cultural opportunities. The Nanaimo Cultural Strategy sets community vision and direction for future cultural planning and development.

Social Development Strategy
In 2002, the Social Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC) initiated a collaborative process with key community partners to create a Social Development Strategy for Nanaimo. The strategy defines a social vision for Nanaimo, goals to achieve that vision, and specific strategies to achieve those goals. The strategy acknowledges and builds on the many positive initiatives occurring in Nanaimo, and sets forth specific strategies to address the identified social issues in six major areas of focus; education and learning, community and health services, housing and shelter, safety and security, and community life.
Nanaimo's Response to Homelessness Action Plan
The City of Nanaimo is committed to addressing the key social issues facing our community, including affordable housing and homelessness. These commitments are spelled out in "Nanaimo's Response to Homelessness Action Plan (2008)", and Memorandum of Understanding with the Province of BC.
