A Little bit of History of our Venue

Nanoose Place officially opened in June 1992, thanks to the leadership and vision of the Nanoose Bay Lions, along with the support of the community and the Regional District of Nanaimo. Local residents contributed through fundraising, grants, and donations to help create a gathering place that would serve generations to come.

Today, Nanoose Place continues to be a vibrant hub where people come together to learn, connect, create, and celebrate. Operated by the Nanoose Bay Activities & Recreation Society (NBARS), the centre hosts a wide variety of community programs, activities, and events throughout the year.
