F
or centuries the lure of the west coast brought settlers,
immigrants, migrant workers, gold seekers, adventurers
and entrepreneurs. Prior to their arrival the Coast
Salish people named Snuneymuxw lived a life of luxury, fishing
off the waters of the beautiful coastal harbour, gathering shellfish and having leisure time to create beautiful works of art
using the surrounding pieces of their environment.
The first Europeans to arrive in 1791 were with the Spanish
voyage of Juan Carrasco who named their town Bocas de
Winthuysen and set up a trading post. When others arrived they
referred to the town as Colevile. The Hudson Bay Company was
given the rites to Vancouver Island in 1849 which also included
the monies earned from mining. In 10 years' time they would
have to resell the island to the Crown -90% of their gain was to
develop the colony and the remaining 10% could be kept by the
company. During those 10 years the Snuneymuxw Chief, Coal

Tyee, presented a canoe load of excellent quality coal to the
company, a bastion was built to protect the harbour, and a boatload of immigrants arrived from England. With a thriving white
population of over 150 settlers, the town was renamed
Nanaimo. It would later be nicknamed "The Hub City" due to
the street layout design radiating out from the shoreline like the
spokes of a wagon wheel. Today it is more popularly known as
"The Harbour City".
Nanaimo coal was king until the end of the 1930s when
forestry became the major industry. Located on Vancouver
Island, 110km north of Victoria, Nanaimo is the gateway to
many other destinations. With a temperate climate of mild,
rainy winters and cool, dry summers it is ideal for spending time
on the water. It is well known as the "Bathtub Racing Capital of
the World" and is home to North America's first legal, purposemade bungee jumping bridge... adventurers unite!
