Nanaimo [nuh-nye-mo]: The Gathering Place
Built on the traditional lands of the Snuneymuxw and Snaw-Naw-As First Nations, our community is over 100,000 people and growing; people who live, work, play and thrive here. Since Nanaimo incorporated in 1874, we’ve been a coal town, a timber town,
a mill town and a tourism destination. Today, our leading sectors are healthcare, construction, technology, tourism and retail.
