NCS expansion land's first phases of development have begun

Thanks to your generous donations of $62,463 last year, the property will be ready for outdoor learning and play this year.

Thanks to your generous donations of $62,463 in 2022-23, the first phases of development are launching on Nanaimo Christian School's expansion land with the goal of creating usable space for outdoor learning and play during the 2023-24 school year.

Here's what's been happening:

• Newcastle Engineering completed a site plan that maps out the property line, elevation gradients, landscape features, setbacks, and more.

• The NCS Campus Plan Task Force met with City of Nanaimo planners to begin discussing traffic flow and parking.

• Strategic Natural Resource Consultants sent an urban forester to the property for a hazardous tree assessment (pink ribbon = hazardous tree; candy stripe ribbon = rare/landmark tree).

• The NCS facilities manager installed a new gate on the Holland Road access to the property adjacent from the main school parking lot.

In the coming weeks you'll see:

• Hazardous tree removal

• Clearing of brush and hazardous debris

• Other site prep to make the land safe for students

Would you like to be part of what God is doing on this land?

• Please pray that God continues to lead with a clear vision for His purposes. Pray a blessing over the land and the impact it will have on students for generations to come.

• Let us know if your company would like to partner with NCS throughout the land development phases. Here are some more immediate areas of need: tree removal, timber cruising, and field preparation. Email jamie.moore@ncsnanaimo.com or call 250-754-4512.

• The expansion land was an answer to six years of prayer.

• Being able to use this expansion land – in the long term – allows us to add on to existing buildings and create more classroom spaces as the school continues to grow!
