Hometown Hockey showcases community spirit
The Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour was a success for Nanaimo. The objectives for the event - to deliver the best Hometown Hockey Festival, present Nanaimo across the country as a beautiful destination place and showcase community spirit - were met with 12,000 people attending the weekend festival, over 4,000 skaters on the outdoor rink and over 2,000 zipliners. Many community partners came together to deliver this event including the Snuneymuxw First Nation, VIU, Nanaimo Minor Hockey, SD68 and many private organizations who provided financial and in-kind support. Donations to ride the zipline went to Loaves and Fishes ($4,210) and KidsSport ($4,250).
