Amplify Nanaimo: That 50’s Barber Shop
NANAIMO — Small, local business to the lifeblood of any community and NanaimoNewsNOW is proud to amplify the work they do in our region.
Amplify Nanaimo is a new initiative with Pattison Media and Save-on-Foods to nominate and recognize local businesses who go above and beyond in the community.
That 50’s Barber Shop is a staple of Nanaimo’s downtown, not only for haircuts but as the catalyst for several community programs including the widely used Fresh Start.
“(Fresh Start) provides backpacks filled with school supplies to school aged children (k-12) in the Nanaimo area,” one nominator wrote. “Dave has been a pillar of the downtown community for years and is active in all sorts of local arts and charity events. He actively promotes, sponsors and supports local arts events and charities in Nanaimo.”
