PORT ALBERNI – We are not strangers to adversity in the Alberni Valley. When tough times hit, we rally together and do what must be done to make sure everyone gets through it.
The past two days are another example of our community doing just that. As I share our story with the world through the interviews I do, I am proud of how strong we are and how we handle difficult situations. We do not panic. We dig in and get things done together.
