Getting there

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 55 km (34 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.

Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Nanaimo means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Nanaimo has 16 venues mapped in total and a population of 99,863. The Nanaimo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 2nd of 16 venues mapped in Nanaimo.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.

  • community meetings

    Room for 500 covers most community and member meetings.
