Nanaimo is one of the fastest growing communities on Vancouver Island, with a population well over 80,000. Its economy has been transitioning from one based on primary industries to a service based “knowledge” economy. With 2 ferry terminals and an expanded airport, Nanaimo serves as the gateway for goods and traffic to and from the mainland and the rest of the world. Our mild climate, skilled workforce and central location with easy access to the island highway system are all a magnet for entrepreneurs.
