DONATE TO THE HEART OF YOUR COMMUNITY

Nanoose Place Community Centre has been a going concern in the community since 1992. 

The Nanoose Bay Lions invested a huge amount of their time and money to build the current centre and the Regional District of Nanaimo provided the land and some initial funding.   

Operated and managed by Nanoose Bay Activities and Recreation Society (NBARS) - Nanoose Place does not receive ongoing funding from any level of government. 

Now thirty years old, the buildings are in need of major repairs and upgrades. 

To ensure that the 1,000 people who pass through the doors each week can continue to enjoy activities within the centre - NBARS must raise over $500,000 over the next five years.

George Holme played a pivotal role in the creation of Nanoose Place in the early 1990’s as a dedicated member of the Nanoose Bay Lions Club; of which he was made an honorary member in 1988. 

He served the RDN as Director, Area E for 29 years and as chair of the RDN Board for ten years. 

He was a long-time champion of Nanoose Place as a Community Centre and believed strongly in its value as a gathering place and hub for the community. 

He was also Nanoose Bay’s first Fire Chief in 1972.

The funds are to be used for much needed building renewal projects and renovations to our Community Centre. NBARS will use funds in priority of need.
