Who we are

We in the San Pareil neighborhood acknowledge that we live on the unceded ancestral land of the Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nation

Working Together To Serve Our Community

The San Pareil Owners and Residents Association (SPORA) is working together to serve and support the communty. We act as a liaison between residents of San Pareil and levels of government (i.e. the Regional District of Nanaimo and provincial ministries) on issues concerning our community. We also strive to create and strengthen community by supporting opportunities for neighbours to socialize with each other.

What We Do

What does SPORA accomplish?

Our goal is to enhance discussion between the
community and government. We focus on issues that affect the lives of our neighbours such as access to the highway, emergency planning and improvements to our local parks.
