Explore the recreated mine to learn about coal resources in Nanaimo, technology and working conditions. A visit to the Bastion historical building is a step back in time to the earliest days of coal mining in Nanaimo. The discrimination experienced by Chinese and Italian miners is introduced.
This is a 2 hour, in-person program that begins and ends at Nanaimo Museum.
The Bastion historical building is a 5 minute walk from the Nanaimo Museum on the waterfront. The program duration includes time for walking there and back. The Bastion is not wheelchair accessible, with 3 sets of steep stairs.
