🥞 One Table, One Nanaimo
Our Community Pancake Breakfast
Join us for a morning of community connection at Maffeo Sutton Park.
One Table, One Nanaimo is a free community breakfast hosted by the Spirit of Nanaimo Society. This inaugural event invites neighbours, families, and visitors to sit together, share pancakes, and enjoy a relaxed morning overlooking Nanaimo’s beautiful harbour.
Our parks are some of the most cherished public spaces in a community. Places where people from all walks of life can gather and simply enjoy being together. This event is about creating a welcoming space where residents can sit down, share a meal, and remember something simple but important:
We are all part of the same community.
Whether you come with family, friends, or on your own, everyone is welcome at the table.

We acknowledge that for thousands of years the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka'wakw peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, worship, and play. We seek a new relationship with the first peoples here; one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
