Funding of Nanoose Place

Contrary to popular belief, the Regional District of Nanaimo does not provide ongoing funding for Nanoose Place operations or maintenance. The maintenance and operations of the centre (including 2 part-time staff) are funded by fees paid by the users of the two facilities.

Nanoose Place Buildings

There are actually two buildings run by the Nanoose Bay Activities and Recreation Society (NBARS) - Nanoose Place and the building next door (currently rented by the daycare).

Who Oversees and Manages Nanoose?

The centre is operated by a non-profit board called Nanoose Bay Activities and Recreation Society (NBARS). All members of this board are volunteers. There are two paid part-time managers. NBARS is a registered Canadian charity #132305749RR0001.

Critical Funding Needs

Since both buildings are over 30 years old - they require maintenace. The roofs have been repaired over the years but there is a critical need for funding to completely re-do the roof on both buildings. Floors need replacing, bathrooms, lighting and sound equipment need updating.... It all totals more than $500,000 that is needed over the next five years.
