Coastal Community support came at a crucial time in 2020, helping the Nanaimo Arts Council to pivot to online services and exhibitions. We used the funds to create an online gallery, which continues today. While we have returned to live shows and in-person meetings, the gallery plays a valuable role in broadening our community reach and improving accessibility to visual art. We are grateful to the Coastal Community Credit Union.

We are so grateful to Coastal Community Credit Union's relief funds, which enabled Story Theatre to secure a BC wide tour to schools to bring children incredible live theatre. Many children have never experienced theatre due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and so we are so happy to bring the magic of live performance back into schools, who continue to need community support as teachers and staff care for children in schools. Thank you Coastal Community Credit Union, we are so happy to be part of your community!

"Coastal Community Credit Union has been a tremendous supporter of Hub City Cycles and our mission to promote cycling as a sustainable and accessible mode of transportation in Nanaimo. Their funding has been critical in helping us expand our community initiatives, like GoByBike Week, where we were able to create celebration stations and provide much-needed resources and outreach to encourage more people to choose cycling. Coastal Community’s support not only enabled us to enhance our events but also helped us foster a stronger cycling culture in our community, making it easier and more fun for people to ride their bikes."
