Port Authority donates to book
The Port Alberni Port Authority has signed on as the first major sponsor for the Port Alberni Centennial celebrations.
The port on Tuesday donated $10,000 towards the publishing of a “then and now” commemorative book that the centennial committee is assembling.
“A lot of our history takes place along the waterfront so this is a lovely partnership,” Alberni Valley Museum director Jean McIntosh said.
The book, to be launched this year, will feature some iconic 1912 images from the museum’s collection. Members of the Alberni Valley Photography Club have replicated the photos to reflect the same regions or landmarks in 2012.
“Through the captions and the explanations the history is woven throughout the book,” McIntosh said.
