Even though work is going to be top of mind for you and a super busy time through early next month, why not take time out to enjoy Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC? In the first two weeks of March, you will definitely feel like taking off and enjoying some freedom from your work.
Enjoy watching the bald eagles soar from any of the more than two dozen parks in the area. And the city of Nanaimo has one of the prettiest waterfronts in Canada! Nanaimo also has some wonderful history since it was incorporated in 1874 and is the third oldest city in British Columbia.
Nanaimo is also home to a ferry terminal that can whisk you away to Newcastle Island, which sits in the harbor, or head over to beautiful Gabriola island, or why not explore both!
A short 20-minute ferry ride to Gabriola will have you beach walking, restaurant hopping and art shopping in no time. There are many resident artists on the island and you will be sure to find a fabulous objet d’art to remind you of your fantastic journey to beautiful British Columbia.
