The Port Theatre is a not-for-profit performance art centre. The City
of Nanaimo formed the Port Theatre Society in 1989 to build an 800-seat
theatre on the breathtaking waterfront in downtown Nanaimo. The Port
Theatre opened in September of 1998, with grants from the Federal
Provincial Infrastructure Works Program and an outstanding level of
community support. The purpose of The Port Theatre Society is to
stimulate and enhance artistic, cultural and economic activity of
central Vancouver Island. The theatre is a focal point for residents and
visitors alike, offering a broad range of cultural events designed to
meet many diverse interests and needs. A landmark on the city's
waterfront, it also serves as an important meeting place for a variety
of community events, seminars and educational conferences. Over 250
events are held in the theatre each year attracting over 125,000 people.

The 4 kilometre walkway, that shows off many of Nanaimo's
Harbourside attractions, built in 1987, has become one of the best-used
recreational facilities in the city.
A stroll along its landscaped
path reveals many of the projects the Port Authority has encouraged and
promoted to boost recreational opportunities for residents and visitors
alike.
Close-up views of Gabriola, Protection and Newcastle Islands
with access to their connecting ferries are also part of the Walkway's
many features.
This 'jewel in the harbour's crown' was completed in 1993 and provides a focal point for the downtown waterfront.
Shops, restaurants and public facilities and meeting spaces all come together at the Pioneer Waterfront Plaza.
This
Plaza provides access to the Inner Harbour and Boat Basin so that
visitors who arrive by sea can be found mingling with shoppers, diners
and walkers.
Public parking is concealed beneath the Plaza deck and
the Wharfinger and Harbourmaster's office, as well as the Seaplane
Terminal are located nearby. Nanaimo's heart and soul was born on this
waterfront and it is preserved with the support of the Nanaimo Port
Authority.
Nanaimo's past, present and future is tied closely to
this stretch of waterfront. Site of major transportation connections,
industry, entertainment, recreation and culture, the heart of the
community keeps beat with the rhythm of the sea.
Nanaimo's Port
Theatre was named in recognition of the Port Authority's leading role in
the development of this performing arts centre.
