Contact us at Nanaimo Heritage Days – we would love to hear from you!
Let the story unfold of how our great people roamed and
discovered Nanaimo from ancient traditions to our Railroad,
Coal and Harbour connections. Hear the echoes of the old
railway and mine whistles, the bustle of music and artists,
and the sounds of coal miner’s hobnailed boots and
youthful laughter reverberating through time.
