History Buffs of the Harbour City

Strap on your time-travelling helmets, History Buffs of the Harbour City, because we’re about to dive deep into Nanaimo's past! In this group, we roll up our sleeves and tackle everything from the riveting tales of the coal miners to the purported ghosts of Hudson’s Bay Company fur traders haunting our beloved waterfront. We meet weekly to discuss our latest riveting discoveries (hint: not all that glittered was gold). Come armed with anecdotes, questionable historical facts you found on the internet, and maybe a floppy hat or two. Whether you're a local who swears the Bastion carries serious vibes or a newbie just trying to answer why Nanaimo doesn’t have an actual 'Bar,' you’ll fit right in. Bring your best nerdy t-shirts and let’s make history more exciting than whatever Netflix is cooking up this week!
