Description

Advocacy Strategy Coordinator:

The Regional District of Nanaimo is situated within the traditional territory of several First Nations, including Snuneymuxw, Snaw-Naw-As and Qualicum First Nations.

The RDN recognizes the rich cultural history of First Nations and is committed to developing positive working relationships to the benefit of all residents of the region.

ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
The RDN is one of 27 regional districts in the Province of BC.

Regional Districts across the Province strive to ensure all provincial residents have an effective form of local government, while also representing municipal residents on regional issues.

The RDN provides regional governance and services to the municipalities of Nanaimo, Lantzville, Parksville, and Qualicum Beach, as well as seven unincorporated Electoral Areas.

Established in 1967, the RDN is British Columbia's fifth most populous Regional District and home to more than 155,000 people.

The Nanaimo Regional Hospital District (NRHD) is an independent entity and is governed by a Board of Directors.

It shares the same boundaries, Directors, and administrative staff as the Regional District of Nanaimo and has confirmed that the five major areas of focus for capital planning and advocacy are: 1) the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) patient tower replacement, 2) the new cancer centre, 3) the cardiac catheterization lab, 4) a new high acuity unit and 5) a new long-term care facility in the region.

These five interrelated projects are vital to improving access to essential healthcare services for residents of the central and north island regions.
