A group of people have come together to facilitate the growth of Culture Days in Nanaimo; we have been brainstorming activities and ways to collaboratively promote the event. We have come up with the idea of creating a “Culture Days Hub” at the downtown library that include various activities in one location; making events more easily promoted and accessible to the community. This location will also build on the Arte de Carnavale event that has taken place in the Diana Krall Plaza for the last two years.<br><br>As a group we hope to connect people and resources - if there is a need for your event, such as people, expertise, advice, materials, etc., you can circulate your needs to this group and we will all try to help you fill it. We will also promote the event as a whole by creating a group poster (new this year) and on social, and other media, using the national event registry as our guide for what is happening.<br><br><strong>Next meeting is Monday, June 23rd</strong>, 3pm-5pm at the Downtown Library.
