Welcome to Team Nanaimo
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Nanaimo Spirit of BC Community
Committee, welcome to the web site of TEAM NANAIMO. The original "Team"
was formulated in the Fall of 2002 when a small group of like-minded
individuals met in an attempt to create a ground swell of local support
to back the Vancouver/Whistler bid to become hosts the 2010 Winter Olympic
and Paralympic Games. "Team Nanaimo, We're Backing the Bid"
was the first active community committee formed outside the Lower Mainland.
Spirit of BC Community Committee - Nanaimo was formed in September of 2003
with a broad community base reflecting the need for future collaboration
and partnerships and to develop strategy. It was next renamed the
Nanaimo Spirit of BC Committee.
Team Nanaimo has assisted in bringing over half a million dollars to Nanaimo for sports, arts, literacy and the Olympic Live Site on the Diana Krall Plaza, and for five years featured our signature event Sport Fest, during the February Spirit of BC Week and Olympic Countdown.

FOND MEMORIES OF THE OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY AS THE TORCH TRAVELLED THROUGH NANAIMO ON OCTOBER 31 AND NOVEMBER 1, 2009
To help celebrate, Team Nanaimo created a souvenir torch poster that could be rolled into a cone-shaped torch. View the Team Nanaimo torch poster.* View the rolled-up torch (.jpg).
Team Nanaimo distributed the torch posters throughout the community and during the festivities
at Spirit Square at Maffeo-Sutton Park where Michelle Stilwell arrived on the evening of October 31 as the last torch relay carrier of Day 2.
On Day 3, our very own Team Nanaimo Chair, Camela Tang, carried the Olympic torch in North Nanaimo.
Please see photos of the two days' events.
The souvenir torch poster was designed by Ronan Lannuzel of Made by Design.
*Team Nanaimo urges you to recycle your torch poster, should you choose to not keep it as a souvenir. Thank you.
