Soccer has a long and storied history in Nanaimo and on Thursday (May 17) fans can hear some of those stories.
Historian Robert Janning will be in town to conduct a reading of his first book, Westcoast Reign: The British Columbia Soccer Championships 1892-1905 at 6 p.m. at Nanaimo Harbourfront Library.
His book covers early teams such as the Nanaimo Rangers, Northfield Violets, Wellington Rovers and Riverside AFC out of Cedar.
