A few months ago I attended a trade show to illustrate the modular designs which I have developed. I wanted to show how the designs could be flexible using similar modular components. Here is what I came up with:
What are some great places to visit in and around Nanaimo? I'm writing a few days ahead of Nanaimo Infusion and the start of the biggest summer Cruise ship schedule I have seen since living on Vancouver Island. On April 24th the official start to Nanaimo Infusion and the arrival of the cruise ship Noordam, will bring in excess of 500 and 1200 visitors to the city respectively.
I wanted to create a short list of places that I would suggest visitors try to get out to visit. I'll update the list with more information
Hiking / Nature:
Morell Sanctuary: A private nature and wildlife sanctuary open to the public.
