Today, Nanaimo provides all the modern amenities right at the city’s doorstep. Old town character and boutiques, theatre, outdoor activities, and plenty of dinning hot spots then sag-way into a highway lined with various mega shopping plazas and malls. The genuine township and hospitality of the local accommodations are suitable for traveling couples, families or large corporate engagements. Nanaimo is among British Columbia's most livable cities, having a favorable balance of lifestyle, employment and investment opportunities.
