Access and arrival

CFB Comox / Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) sits 8 km (5 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.

At 96 km (60 mi) from the centre of Nanaimo, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.

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.

The kind of event it takes

This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.

  • 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 497 covers most community and member meetings.
