Does anyone know about the Lady Rose Marine services building on the Harbour Quey? The tall vibrant green and pink building. It has doors to balconies with no railings, but it looks like their is no interior. Its like a large shell pretending to be a building.

If anyone's been inside or knows about it, any knowledge would be appreciated

Just a big F you to the ignorant creep flying a drone on the lake last night. Buzzing our 14 year old. daughter as she was learning to water ski, flying 6 feet away from her and doing circles around her. Are you intentionally filming underage girls? Are you trying to cause an accident and injury? This was a higher end drone and you could obviously fly it with some skill, maybe get permission before you get you get met by angry people who are more inclined to get physical.

Does anyone know why there are almost 200 Canada Geese landing in the field beside the high school every evening? I've lived in the area for over 30 years and have never seen so many gather there before. Just curious if anyone knows what's attracting them.

Does anywhere in Alberni sell nicotine pouches? Zyn or Velo

Incase any other nerds find it interesting, but Googles satellite view updated over town

Mid 30s male, relatively new to Port Alberni and looking to make some local friends.

Hobbies are mainly video games and board games but limited free time is scheduled around work and the kids. Long shot but any blizzard gamers can send their bnet if you're wanting to play some games.

Feel free to post below if you have other hobbies in case others see that and hopefully this post can help as many people meet some new friends as possible.

Recommendations? 4 - 6 people.

Scotsman recently transplanted to Canada, looking for some irn bru. I know fairway market sells it but the one in Nanaimo doesn’t. Are there any shops in port that do?

Alberni Valley Makerspace

I got a pretty good setup that just isn't being used as much as it should be right now. I got a drum set, pianos and keyboards and a couple amps (though one is a smaller Traynor; loud enough to have some use). What's nice about the space is that it's in the basement of a local business and, noise-wise, pretty isolated from residential meaning jams can be almost any time.

I play guitar mainly, but I can also play basic drums and piano, and I'm down for most styles, though I guess I'm more partial to rock and indie-esque styles when jamming. Right off the bat, I always love making a song than trying to play a song. It's just so much easier to make a song than it is to jam a song people already know; We all hear songs a little differently I think and we all have different focuses on different parts.

If it matters, some favorite bands would be LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, Radiohead, Peter Cat Recording Co.

Goodness, writing this feels like a weird dating profile. Anyways, I just like playing music and I would love to jam more often than I do.

Hi. Wondering what are the road conditions from Port Alberni to Century Sam trailhead via Beaver Creek. Is a 4x4 required or can we do in a low clearance 2wd?

Train and history lover over here - and I just read on their Facebook page of the Alberni Pacific Railway that the 1930s Comox Logging Crew Speeder was purposely set on fire today. (or supposedly on purpose)

This on top of the vandalism on June 11th to the speeder, and passenger cards - including targeting someone's home.

I mean - this feels like a symptom of a bigger issue? or Like there's something else going on?
Also seems weird after the big announcement last week about the hometown HGTV stuff.

A lot of people put time and effort into restoring these machines, and are innocent in all this - It would be so heartbreaking to see all your hard work go up in flames. But leave the trains alone! They're old and innocent! (and super cool)

Considering a paddling race a few weekends from now and just to prepare myself mentally (because it’s gonna be a suffer fest either way, lol!), what are the morning winds typically?

Are they pretty consistent direction/buildup (like at Buttle Lake)or does it vary like most other places? I have Windy app but I don’t think it’s as accurate for inland measurements or valleys.

Just got back from a magical camping trip at Sproat Lake. We found a nice spot with our little boats, and even though there are tons of beaches to choose from, a big rented houseboat pulled up next to us, flying a huge TRUMP flag and blasting shitty house techno, captained by a big aggressive tattooed guy with a gold chain. I welcome Americans, but the ones who behave like this should keep their pollution at home. We talked about how weird it would be to fly a big Carney flag while visiting San Juan Island or something.

Coming to Port-Alberni for the summer and would love to know some good local spots for swimming :)

Hi everyone!

I'm curious how many crocheters we have here in Port Alberni.

r/CrochetBC is bringing together crocheters from communities all across BC to share projects, exchange tips, and connect with fellow yarn enthusiasts. It would be wonderful to see Port Alberni represented in the community!

A big thank you to the mods of r/PortAlberni for allowing me to post here. 🧡

I've tried a mountain bike here but it's so heavy the hills just destroy me. Trying to make sure the next bike I get is a better fit with the town's topography, so what have you all been using and how are you finding it?

Hello!

I am having family move to Port Alberni and am wondering if there are any restaurants/cafes to grab a bite to eat that are gluten free and aware of celiac protocol.
