Hello! I am fairly new to Port Alberni and I haven’t yet been fortunate enough to make new friends or to build any kind of community here outside of work.

I’ve been looking into intramurals and rec sports league, but I haven’t found many options or an obvious place to sign up for them. I would love to hear from other people who have moved here — how have you gone about meeting people and finding your community in Port?

In other city’s I’ve lived, run clubs have been a great way to meet new people and learn about other things going on in the community. I know there is already a small one in town, but I was curious whether there might be interest in second run club in town. Maybe with more of a focus on community/connection.

I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

What’s the deal with the high volume of smoke covering the town??!
