Why 360 Vid fits Nanaimo
The Hub City of central Vancouver Island.
Nanaimo is the largest city on Vancouver Island outside Greater Victoria, 99,863 residents in the 2021 Census, up 10.3% from 90,504 in 2016, which made it one of Canada's faster-growing mid-size cities over that period. It anchors the Regional District of Nanaimo, about 170,367 people, and earns its "Hub City" name as the central-Island gateway where two BC Ferries terminals, the Hullo foot-passenger fast ferry, Nanaimo Airport, and the deep-water Port of Nanaimo converge.
That gateway role sits on top of a budgeted public sector and a growing private economy: the City of Nanaimo and the Regional District, Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Island Health, Vancouver Island University with more than 14,500 students, the port and transportation infrastructure, and a construction and real estate market that is the city's largest by business count. Every priority lane we serve concentrates in one growing Hub City.
We are a Canadian service-area provider for Nanaimo and the central Island, not a local branch office. We travel to capture on site, scope the rest remotely, and never claim work we have not delivered. What we bring that the local cloud-3D and consumer-app vendors do not combine in one place is 360 photo depth, procurement-readiness, accessibility, and Canadian data residency.

Questions
Nanaimo questions.
What is a Nanaimo 360 virtual tour used for?
A Nanaimo 360 photo virtual tour is a navigable, hosted, accessible walk-through of a facility or property that lets the public, planners, or tenants explore it online before they visit. In Nanaimo it is used most for recreation and civic facilities, the hospital and the university campuses, the port, ferry terminals, and airport, and the conference centre, waterfront venues, and commercial real estate.
Do you have a Nanaimo office, or are you local?
We serve Nanaimo as a service area, not from a local branch office. 360 Vid is a Canadian studio that travels to capture on site across Nanaimo and the Regional District, from Parksville and Qualicum Beach to Ladysmith and Gabriola Island, and scopes the rest remotely. We never claim work we have not delivered.
Do public bodies already use virtual tours?
Yes. Virtual tours are established practice for Canadian municipalities, universities, and health and transit bodies. Our own delivered work shows the format at scale, from the Brookfield YMCA at Seton in Calgary to City of Edmonton LRV stations, shown here as quality examples rather than local clients, with the consistent capture, accessibility, schema, and hosting a one-off gallery does not provide.
Are your virtual tours accessible and WCAG conformant?
Yes, our tours are built to WCAG 2.1 AA with navigable, captioned orientation that supports pre-visit access and wayfinding, which matters for public-facing assets under British Columbia accessibility expectations. We provide an accessibility statement for procurement.
Can the tour be delivered without cloud hosting?
Yes. For security-sensitive or data-residency-bound facilities, such as the port and transportation infrastructure, we deliver an air-gapped, no-cloud tour that runs entirely on your network or media, owned by you, with Canadian data residency. It is a capability we offer where it is needed, not the default for every Nanaimo project.
What does a government, hospital, campus, or commercial virtual tour in Nanaimo cost?
A single Nanaimo facility or property starts at $7,000 captured, built, and hosted, then $120 per month per tour. Multi-facility public-sector programs, hospital and campus work, port and terminal documentation, and commercial portfolios run $15k to $50k or more, scoped per site and phased. Travel and mobilization to the Island are confirmed in the scope call.
