Re: Future of Port Alberni waterfront , ShawTV Thrive
very unfortunate and smelly.....just another backroom deal that BC is so famous for....there is no accountability or at least the cost of that is less expensive than the obvious gains for those involvedSandy Beach wrote:Many of our friends and wind community have been following what is happening in Port Alberni.

Booo! Prt Alberni Coucil.
This stinks. Selling off the public future for $250,000. What is the upside ? Maybe a few short term jobs and tax revenue but now total loss of control of that Section of Alberni Waterfront. Bummer. Should have made it a park and campground.
