Regional District of Nanaimo

The Regional District of Nanaimo (District #69) is one of the fastest growing regions in British Columbia, Canada. Located on Vancouver Island, it has a population of more than 131,000 people, and some of the Island's most livable communities. Its boundaries stretch from Cassidy—just south of the Nanaimo airport—to Deep Bay in the north, and inland to snow-capped Mount Arrowsmith. District #69 also includes adjacent islands, many of which house active communities.

The six provincial parks within the area sport beautiful natural attractions that provide extensive opportunities for outdoor recreation. Fishing can be enjoyed year round: salmon, trout, and bass in the summer; and in the winter, steelhead. Fresh and salt-water fishing offers anglers many great locations to test their skills. Charter and marina facilities are readily available. And within the Region are six challenging golf courses that offer breathtaking views of ocean and mountain.

The comparatively mild climate enjoyed by the folks of District 69, combined with generous municipal recreational facilities, encourages participation in a wide variety of physical activities: baseball, boating, caving, canoeing, curling, diving, fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, lawn bowling, skating, skiing, swimming, tennis, and windsurfing.

Other amenities include highly respected public schools as well as the Malaspina University-College at Nanaimo, with a branch in Parksville. Medical clinics, ambulance service, airport, and regular ferry service all contribute to making District 69 the preferred place to live.
