Perspectives on Nanaimo's cultural past, present, and future. Explore ideas and insights into the Harbour City's history and heritage through the eyes of a diverse and engaged cultural community.
Join us for a casual, fun gathering of "thinking and drinking", and sharing stories in a dynamic and engaging format that fuels inspiration and connectivity.
This is a great opportunity to get out from behind your screen and get to a live event, with real people, real communication, real beer, and real creative fun. Come enjoy a “real” social network.
