Community Listening Project
Help Shape the Future of Port Alberni
We're exploring a community-led initiative focused on making Port Alberni cleaner, greener, more welcoming, and more vibrant — and we want to hear from you.
About the Project
What is Love Port Alberni?
Love Port Alberni is an early-stage community initiative exploring ways to bring residents, businesses, volunteers, and local partners together around practical projects that make our town more beautiful, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.
At this stage, nothing is finalized. We're listening first.
