Media Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

Nanaimo Museum's Historical Pub and Cemetery Tours

Step into the past this summer during the Nanaimo Museum's heritage
walking tours this August.  The Historical Pub and Cemetery tours
uncover the rich history of local landmarks and the unique people who
shaped our community.   

Both tours have been popular over the years with local residents.  "The
Historical Pub and Cemetery tours give friends and families a chance to
spend time together doing something out of the ordinary," says Aimee
Greenaway, the museum's Program & Volunteer Coordinator.  "People on the
tours often have a connection to people or places from Nanaimo's history
so each one has its own unique twist."  The tours have been revised this
year, making it ideal for people who have taken a tour in past years to
come again this summer.

Spaces are still available in the Historical Pub tour on Thursday,
August 16 at 1 pm and the Cemetery tour on Wednesday, August 29 at 1 pm
and 6 pm.  Pre-registration is required for all tours and the cost is
$15 per person.  Reduced rates as well as additional tour times are
available for pre-booked groups of 10 or more people.  For more
information or to register for a tour, please contact the Nanaimo Museum
at 250 753-1821 or email program at nanaimomuseum.ca

The Nanaimo Museum and historic Bastion are open 7 days per week from
May long weekend to Labour Day.  See the museum's website at 
www.nanaimomuseum.ca <http://www.nanaimomuseum.ca>  for a complete
listing of summer activities.  For more information about the museum's
summer programs and tours, contact Aimee Greenaway at the Nanaimo Museum
