Instructor: A graduate of the University of Manitoba's City Planning Program, Chris Sholberg was the City of Nanaimo's Heritage Planner from 1999 to 2025, during which time he administered the City's Heritage Conservation Program as the City sought to fulfill its various heritage policy objectives with respect to both conserving built heritage and promoting cultural heritage. He is a retired member of the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Planning Institute of B.C. Born in Winnipeg, and growing up in Northern California, Chris is happy to call Nanaimo his home.
