Nanaimo ReImagined
The REIMAGINE NANAIMO process has concluded and, out of that process, a new City Plan - Nanaimo ReImagined has been created. The new plan was adopted by Council in 2022. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process!
Great cities aren’t created by accident. They are built by residents collectively creating a vision and road map for their City's future.
Over the past two years through the REIMAGINE NANAIMO journey, our community has shaped a vision and path forward for Nanaimo's next 25 years with a new City Plan - Nanaimo ReImagined. Staff are now shifting their attention to City Plan’s implementation, which will be supported by two key documents: an Integrated Action Plan and a Monitoring Strategy. Scroll down to learn more.
