Nanaimo est l'une des communautés à la croissance la plus rapide au Canada. Située à côté d'un port magnifique et dynamique, où la vue des hydravions, des bateaux à poissons, des ferries, des kayaks et des voiliers peint un paysage marin en constante évolution, Nanaimo est une ville bénie d'une beauté naturelle spectaculaire, d'une histoire commerciale vivante, d'une diversité culturelle et d'une attitude dynamique envers l'avenir. Grâce à la vaste connaissance de Goody Niosi sur Nanaimo et ses environs et à travers la vision exigeante du photographe local Terry Patterson, Nanaimo: The Harbour City capture l'esprit humain et le large paysage qui ont clairement marqué cet endroit comme étant spécial.
Conçu pour être un souvenir précieux pour les habitants et les visiteurs, ce guide visiteur élégant et coloré présente le tissu culturel, la communauté artistique, les activités récréatives, les équipements touristiques, les liens de transport et les options d'achat qui ont fait de Nanaimo le premier centre commercial de la côte intérieure de l'île de Vancouver. Nanaimo décrit également des visites à pied dans et autour du centre historique de la ville et dans les quartiers qui mettent en lumière le passé fascinant de Nanaimo et sa croissance de la petite colonie autochtone à la ville prospère et au terrain de jeu moderne.

Born in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1949, Goody Niosi immigrated to Canada at age five and grew up in Ontario. Although she promised herself at age 10 that she would be a writer when she grew up, she didn't pursue that career until she was 49. Her first career was in the film industry, working as a film editor in Vancouver and Toronto. She also managed to travel around the world once and explore Europe several times. Goody writes for the Nanaimo Daily News, Harbour City Star and other publications, and lives above a country stable with her two dogs. She loves the outdoors and is involved in various community activities. Please follow Goody on Twitter at @Oodgy.
Terry Patterson was born in Manitoba and began his studies in photography at Camosun College in Victoria, BC, in 1977. After graduating he moved to Calgary, Alberta, where he worked as a commercial photographer for four years. In 1985 he settled in Nanaimo, BC, where he works and runs a small image bank. Terry now lives just south of Nanaimo in rural Yellow Point with his partner, Eve, and her collection of assorted critters.
