Submit Your Butterfly
RDN Recreation and Parks and The Old Schoolhouse (TOSH) invites you to create and submit your butterfly art.
The butterfly, is a symbol of transformation, from the cocoon the butterfly emerges in colourful splendor. Just like a butterfly, we too shall emerge from this unsettling time transformed. Butterflies can be of any size or style – be creative. Click here for templates, fun butterfly facts and notes on colour.
This is an online exhibition and your photos will be shared in the gallery and on social media. We hope that when facilities reopen we can migrate your butterflies to be displayed in our facilities. The Old Schoolhouse Art Gallery has earmarked July 4 to September 5, 2022 for an exhibit at the gallery.
By submitting to this project I hereby give the Regional District of Nanaimo the absolute right and permission to publish, or use photographic portraits of submitted artworks through any media, for art, advertising, publication, video, internet, trade or any other lawful purpose whatsoever, in the communication of information or promotion of the Regional District of Nanaimo.

Highlights include:
- Registration for lane/leisure swim and aquafit is limited to a maximum of two sessions per week per patron.
- Patrons will be assigned a lane when they check in at reception.
- Lanes are not designated by speed; swimmers can expect different styles and speeds in their lane.
- Maximum five people per lane.
An email with facility usage guidelines will be sent to all session participants prior to session start date.
