Anniversary Of Nanaimo Coal Mining Disaster

Flags at City of Nanaimo facilities have been lowered to half mast to mark the anniversary of the coal mining disaster of 1887.

The explosions of the No. 1 Esplanade Mine are known as the worst mining disaster in British Columbia’s history and second worst in Canadian history.

On May 3, 1887… shortly before 6:00 pm, two explosions occurred in the No. 1 Esplanade Mine… killing 150 people.

Last year, Council passed a resolution to lower the flags at all City of Nanaimo facilities to half mast on May 3 in memory of the miners killed.
