It’s a new baseball season, and it’s a new start in another way for the Nanaimo NightOwls. The city’s West Coast League baseball team begins the season this Friday, May 30, with a new head coach – Nanaimo’s own Cody Andreychuk. Andreychuk played at Serauxmen Stadium with the Nanaimo Pirates and the VIU Mariners, and has since gained more than a decade of coaching experience in the U.S., the past four years as head coach at the University of Pikeville in Kentucky.

The Nanaimo's sign's rainbow-coloured 'O' will be re-imagined with different artwork. The popular tourist photo-op attraction at Sway' A' Lana Lagoon at Maffeo Sutton Park won't sport its 15 bands of colour for much longer, as city council, at a meeting Monday, May 26, voted to commission a new design for the 'O' and look into an annual public call for artists to re-design the letter. The sign was vandalized last month and city staff reported only "moderate success" removing the vandalism.

Nanaimo was already home to the world's best Nanaimo bars – now the community can claim the world's biggest Nanaimo bar, too. A team from Vancouver Island University established a new world record on Saturday, May 17, constructing a 1,100-pound (500 kilogram), 70-foot (21-metre) Nanaimo bar. The bar was made inside the Windsor Plywood Trades Discovery Centre and was cut up and served right away to community members lined up in the rain.
