What is Nanaimo Daily?

Nanaimo Daily is a short, daily community briefing focused on what matters most to people who live and work in Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Lantzville, Cedar, Cassidy, Wellington, and Nanoose Bay - the Harbour City and its mid-Vancouver Island neighbours. Each morning we deliver a concise roundup of local news, community events, weather, BC Ferries updates (Departure Bay and Duke Point), VIU and school district notices, city council and Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) developments, and the stories shaping life on the east coast of Vancouver Island. Designed to be easy to listen to on the drive to work and easy to share with your community.
