Awesome Power

Evinrude outboards are the most powerful and stylish motors on the market: fast, full of torque, fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. The Evinrude E-TEC brings the best of both outboard technologies: it has the power and weight of a traditional 2-stroke but the fuel efficiency, quietness and environmental friendliness of a 4-stroke. And it has one huge advantage: very low maintenance-not requiring any regular service or maintenance for up to 5 years, or 500 hours, with our new futuristic E-TEC G2.

Service and Sales

We are the only authorized Evinrude/ Johnson repair centre for the central and west coast of the Island. We service all makes and our work is fully guaranteed. Winterizing specials on now with 10% off tune-up and winterizing parts.

Weathershield™ is a fibrous loose-fill thermal/ acoustical type of insulation made from selected recycled paper stock blended with appropriate additives to provide resistance to fire, fungi, corrosion and pests. Weathershield™ is designed to be pneumatically placed using a blowing machine and delivery hose, Weathershield™ can also be sprayapplied or even hand-poured in certain applications. Machine application is best, ensuring the product is properly conditioned and placed in the most efficient and economical manner. Weathershield™ provides both high R-Value and resistance to airleakage. As a loose-fill, Weathershield™ is ideal for horizontal or moderately sloped attic spaces up to 4½:12 in pitch. This product is also pneumatically dry-injected to fill enclosed spaces such as the cavities of flat or sloped ceilings, vertical walls and floors. Weathershield™ is used in both new construction and retrofit applications. Weathershield™ displays Environment Canada’s “EcoLogo” (Environmental Choice Program), classifying it as an “environmentally friendly” or “green” building product. See in store for details.

Did you know that the Chamber of Commerce puts on the Annual Community Excellence Awards? A primary focus of the Chamber is to identify and promote good things happening in the Alberni Valley Business Community. Our annual Awards Ceremony gives the community to opportunity to applaud and reward the efforts of many. The next Community Excellence Awards ceremony is April 25, 2015.

People Often Wonder

‘ Why join the Chamber?’ We of course believe firmly in the value of Networking within the Business Community as a key part of the Business Owners/Managements ability to increase sales. Additionally, the Chamber, through its affiliation with the BC Chamber of Commerce and Canadian Chamber of Commerce is associated with many large organizations that extend reduced rates and fees to our members. That’s right; join your Chamber of Commerce (at the Island’s lowest rates) and then access member opportunities that are designed to save you money and time. Group Insurance Programs are perhaps the best in that a small business can access Group Insurance Programs at big company rates and big company renewal benefits. Also available are discounts for e-marketing programs, Payroll Services, and much more! In fact; COME AND SEE US TONIGHT AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE as we’re having an open house 5:30pm – 7:00pm during which time we’ll show you some of the benefit programs!

Everything you need to enjoy the season

The biggest reason for Chambers of Commerce is to work with the local, Provincial and Federal Governments in policy direction. We all know that the bigger the voice….the more they listen. Your Chamber here represents 300 businesses and because of that we do have the ear of politicians. Many of your jobs today are a result of Business in Port Alberni. It’s our job to ensure that the business not only survives, but thrives in the Alberni Valley and that’s good for everyone.
