Waterfront
North Study
Welcome
About the project
The City of Port Alberni, Hupacasath First Nation, Tseshaht First Nation and the Port Alberni Port Authority have
created an innovative partnership to define a visionary future for Port Alberni’s Waterfront North. Port Alberni’s
Waterfront is one of the City’s most valuable assets - for recreation, commercial activity, economic development
and industry. To understand how Port Alberni residents would like this important area to improve, we are completing
the Waterfront North Study.
The purpose of a waterfront study is to guide future decision-making regarding the preservation, development
and celebration of Port Alberni’s waterfront. The study will assist the project partners in setting priority actions for
recreation investment, land use planning and economic development opportunities. The goal of this project is to
develop a collaborative vision for the waterfront north and identify viable and sustainable directions that contribute
to a vibrant Port Alberni.

Waterfront
North Study
Did you Know
Interesting Facts from the Waterfront North
What’s in a name
Port Alberni was named for Captain
Pere d'Alberní, a Spanish officer, who
commanded Fort San Miguel at Nootka
Sound on Vancouver Island's west coast
from 1790 to 1792.
The name Somass is derived from a Nuuchah-nulth
word that means “washing.”
Nature at our doorstep…
The Somass Estuary is one of the most unique environments in BC:
Studies of the estuary identified 204 plant species, 20 species of special significance and nine
different plant communities – showing more diversity than most estuary environments.
It is one of the most important sites on Vancouver Island for wintering and migratory waterfowl.
Reports suggest over 100 species of birds use the area for wintering, staging or resting/
feeding, including the blue-listed Trumpeter Swan and Great Blue Heron.
Many mammals have been observed in the estuary, including Columbian Black-tailed Deer,
Black Bear, Beaver, Mink, Red Squirrel, Raccoon, Vagrant Shrew, Townsend’s Vole, Deer Mouse,
Muskrat, River Otter and bats.
Great Blue Heron

Fascinating culture…
Nature at its fiercest…
Things are kind of fishy in Port Alberni…
Somass River
Image: Erica Watson
The name Kitsuksis is derived from
a Nuu-chah-nulth word meaning “log
across mouth of creek.”
Rogers Creek was named after A.B.
Rogers, the discoverer of Rogers Pass,
when he surveyed in the Alberni Valley
for the Canadian Pacific Railway in the
late 19th century.
Clutesi Haven Marina is named after
George Clutesi, a Tseshaht artist,
actor and writer who was regarded as
a national expert on Native Canadian
culture. In 1959 he received the British
Columbia Centennial Award and the
Canada Centennial Medal in 1967.
Have a whale of a time! The Whaling
Monument at Harbour Quay depicts
Nuu-chah-nulth whalers pursuing
a California gray whale. One of the
many resources that was utilized
and respected was the whale. This
majestic mammal was looked upon
as one of the greatest gifts granted
to the Nuu-chah-nulth by the Creators
and was treated as such by the Nuuchah-nulth
whalers.
Whaling Monument

1964 Tsunami Aftermath
Image: Iain McKain (Province Files)
Just after midnight March 28, 1964
Port Alberni was hit by a tsunami. The
Tsunami had been triggered by an 8.6
Magnitude earthquake near Anchorage,
Alaska. After a first wave hit, rescuers
worked to evacuate the waterfront area
before the second, larger wave arrived,
cresting at 3m (10’) above the normal high
tide mark. While property damage was
abundant, Port Alberni was fortunate to
report no casualties from the event.
There are five species of Pacific Salmon in the Somass River –
Chinook, Sockeye, Coho, Chum and Pink, as well as summer
and winter steelhead runs.
Port Alberni is Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town! In 2010 the
World Fishing Network sponsored a contest for Canada’s
Ultimate Fishing Town and Port Alberni was the winner. Today,
in Victoria Quay, you’ll find a sign celebrating the achievement.
Port Alberni Salmon Fest has been celebrated for 41 years. In
recent years, crowds of 2,500 have gathered at Clutesi Marina
to participate in the fishing derby and enjoy entertainment.

Waterfront
North Study
Hopes & Fears
Do you have hopes and fears about the future of Port Alberni’s Waterfront North
We asked participants to take a moment to think about their greatest hope and your greatest fear for this area. Participants wrote theirs on a sticky note and attached the note to the appropriate side of the board.
Have a look at other participants’ hopes and fears for the Waterfront North.
Train line across river
Greatest hope:
That we can stop traffic
dead in its tracks to
provide and interesting,
educational and
recreational leisurely
time for visitors to stay
& investors to invest in a
tourism area
Hopes
Do something in full
not half-mast
I would like to see a
lively market, either
every Saturday or once
a month. You could get
musicians, different
artisans and food
Aesthetically-pleasing
and - practical,
functional services for
boaters & tourists-
- chandler
- fish processing drop off
- ice/ water/ fuel/
moorage/ temp. tie-ups
Clutesi Marina
This is a very attractive
site for tourists, so in the
future this area should
have variety of restaurants,
playground and a flower
garden where the tourist
enjoys the scenery and can
take pictures
Add more stoplights
so people stop and will
slow down and take a
look
Walkway bike lane on
the river when possible
then a boat from east to
Westend
That it won’t hit the mark to
compete with our neighboring
communities and fall
flat. It must be spectacular
and interesting. To make
even a child say “dad lets
stop!” Beautiful for women,
interesting for men. My fear
is also that more non-tourism
businesses will take over!
Lose the estuary is a
big fear
Piece meal loss of
public access to river
Fears
Industrial pollution
and more ugliness
Protect estuary #1
& Bird sanctuary
(noise encroachment etc.)
It should be studied
before we take a chance
to make anything new.
Sometimes when we make
a decision too quickly it
is not right thing. Please
be thorough
Loss of capacity & good
access for recreational
fishers & transient/
tourist boaters
Fishing floats on the
river at the Clutesi
Marina
Continuous walk
from Papermill dam to
Victoria Quay (using
roads where necessary)
I would like to see a
wharf added to the
construction
Industrial growth
Harbour Quay to Victoria
Quay to Papermill Dam
will become a reality -
along its entire length.
That residents will be
inspired & visitors wowed!!
Smoke House in this area
should be restaurant or
fruit plant and small
farming for vegetables
and flowers too
Connect Harbour Quay
to Paper Mill dam
via walkway and/or
current sidewalk w/
signs
Development will scare
bears seen at Victoria
Quay
That we will stop at
the study stage & be
frustrated by lack of $.
Lets do the no- and low-
$ projects first

Waterfront
North Study
Vision Statement
What is your vision for Port Alberni’s future waterfront north
A vision is a guiding statement that sets the tone for long-term planning and development of the waterfront.
Help us create a Waterfront North vision by writing 1 - 3 inspiring words on a sticky note and attaching it to this sheet.
Vision for Port Alberni’s
future waterfront north
is respect their ancestor’s
statues and symbols and
should have (music) or
their spiritual things if
they want to display!
Hooked on us
City of Strength
(our resources, amenities,
recreation, etc)
Ultimate
Port Alberni,
Place for family
recreation
Inclusive, sustainable
leisure
To produce an ultimate
fishing town theme below the
tracks & to Clutesi Haven
that envelopes & morphs
into First nations culture &
themed buildings that tells
the story of two cultures with
1 common denominator: Fish,
the outdoors, recreation & work.
Take advantage of the people
driving by & get them to stop.
Shell you stay awhile
Come and Sea
First Nation’s
Restaurant, so when the
tourists come from Tofino
they can eat their food.

Destinations are specific places that draw people to the
waterfront. Creating spaces with multiple destinations
will appeal to a broad range of users and encourages
visitors to stop and explore. Destinations showcase local
identity and support a vibrant and thriving community.
The connections between destinations are as
equally important as the destinations themselves.
Trails, walkways, greenways and boardwalks provide
opportunities for passive enjoyment such as sitting and
viewing, while supporting active transportation. Active
transportation such as walking, biking and rollerblading
has numerous health, environmental, economic and
social benefits.
Public spaces, and waterfronts in particular, are opportunities
to showcase the beauty and importance of nature. Waterfronts
typically have diverse ecosystems which lend themselves
well to recreation and educational experiences such as bird
watching, photography and interpretation. This interaction aids
in increasing awareness and respect for nature and supports
environmentally-sound decision making.
Supporting activities that can occur throughout the year
encourages increased use of public waterfront spaces.
Activities such as boating, fishing, markets, performances
and playgrounds are just a few examples of activities
that can draw people throughout the seasons. Flexible
spaces that can be adapted to different seasonal uses
encourages visitors to enjoy the waterfront year-round.
Waterfronts are places for people - young and old - who
enjoy a range of activities. Fun exists in an endless
variety of forms and finding fun opportunities for
everyone is a hallmark of a successful waterfront.
Support Economic Opportunity
A successful waterfront creates an atmosphere where
local business can thrive, from the small-scale to the
large-scale. A waterfront that is attractive to businesses
and that compliments and supports the community
vision will help invite people to stay and enjoy the
waterfront area.
