Developments being proposed in two significant areas of our community have been chafing at the hearts and minds of many during the past year. It has been suggested that developments of the Somass Lands and Upper Burde Street could change the basic character of our community.
In an effort to allow the public to gather information and be involved in a moderated discussion of these issues, Alberni Valley Transion Town Society is hosting Port Alberni 2024-2044, a panel presentation and discussion evening at 7:00 PM January 27 at Char’s Landing, 4815 Argyle.
The panel, which will be moderated by Anna Lewis will include City Councillor Dustin Dame, Alberni Nature Club president Sandy McCruer, Tseshaht elected Chief Ken Watts and Chamber of Commerce president Terry Deakin. Attempts are still being made to include someone representing developers.
Turn out at Char’s Landing, 4815 Argyle Street in Port Alberni
