Nanaimo Science inspires children to develop an interest in science through a wide range of programs.

The mission of the Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society is to inspire families and develop their interest in science and sustainability through hands-on learning. Key to this mission is community outreach through our Science in the Park and Science on the Move programs, and a new, interactive Science Centre for the central Vancouver Island region. All programs will appeal to families, kids, retirees, teachers, schools and visitors.

We're excited to be partnering with the Ocean Film Festival World Tour when it comes to Nanaimo on Wednesday, 9 September at The Port Theatre!

If you're planning to attend, make sure you stop by our display in the foyer before the films begin or during interval. We'd love to meet fellow ocean lovers who share a passion for healthy oceans.

The Ocean Film Festival showcases inspiring films celebrating ocean adventure, marine conservation, and the incredible people working to protect our blue planet. Now in its fourth year touring Canada, the festival has built an established community of ocean lovers across the country.

Join us for an inspiring evening of films, conservation and community.
The Port Theatre, 125 Front St, Nanaimo
Wednesday, 9 September 2026
