NANAIMO — Another step forward for a group wanting to create an ocean discovery centre in Nanaimo.

A study completed in March 2015 concluded the project was feasible, leading to the election of a Board of Directors and the forming of an association.

Board Vice-President Tim Tessier says they are putting the wheels in motion to move to the next level.

“And part of that next step was engaging and going under contract with an architect to start to develop an actual picture and some concrete aspects of what the building, what the programs et cetera will look like.”
