Global Television Comes To Town At Woodgrove Save-on Foods It takes 13 crew members to produce 18 minutes of broadcast!

Tents Were Set Up To Cover The Dining Area, just in case the Sun didn’t co-operate. The tables were set, able to Serve 200 people at a time.

Save-on Foods management and staff manned the cooking stations cranking out scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes for about 1,000 people who turned out. Save-on Foods provided FREE breakfast for all who showed up!

The Lady who started it all. Winona Adams nominated Nanaimo in the Global Save-on Foods “Celebrate Your Town Contest”.

Global Television Personalities host the “Celebrate Your Town” contest, sponsored by Global TV and Save-on Foods.

Global viewers got the chance to see the ‘secrets’ behind the best Nanaimo bar. A poorly kept secret indeed!

NEDC tourism lead, Jenn Houtby-Ferguson explains that the Nanaimo ‘bar’ has morphed into several forms including the Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake, the Nanaimo Bar Cupcake and the peanut butter Nanaimo Bar.

Next to Nanaimo Bars we are equally as famous for the Great International Bathtub Race!

Mayor Ruttan as usual puts Nanaimo’s best foot forward!

The VI Raiders and the Clippers are well known sports teams

About 1,000 People enjoyed a FREE breakfast courtesy of Save-on Foods. The Nanaimo Jazz Trio added to the atmosphere under perfect weather conditions.

After over 2 hours of non-stop cooking, Save-on staff were finally able to grab a bite themselves!
