Area C (Arrowsmith-Benson)

Area C lies along the Nanaimo River valley, where wooded foothills and freshwater lakes form an inland counterpoint to Vancouver Island’s east coast. This is a rural electoral area of the Regional District of Nanaimo rather than a conventional town, with scattered homes, forest roads and routes into the island interior. The Nanaimo River is important salmon habitat and a popular local corridor for swimming, paddling and day trips in warmer months. Forestry has long influenced settlement and transport across this part of the island, while nearby Nanaimo provides the region’s principal urban services and a well-known food emblem, the Nanaimo bar.
