Municipal Office News

Bear Awareness

Garbage-eating bears lose their fear of people and can become a nuisance and possibly dangerous.

Don’t attract bears to your neighbourhood.

Use the following tips to help keep bears

away:

Garbage & Compost: Keep garbage in a secured shed or in-doors until pick-up day.

Fruit Trees: Pick fruit as it ripens and clean up windfalls promptly. Get rid of any unwanted fruit trees.

Barbecues: Burn grills clean to remove any food residues and store barbecues inside. If left outside, keep it covered and store out of the wind.

Pets: A dog may warn you that a bear is nearby, but be sure your dog is restrained or in a fenced yard.

If you see a bear:

Remain calm. The bear is likely passing through and if it doesn’t find food, will move on.

Keep away from the bear and warn others to stay away.

Bring children and pets indoors. If the bear seems threatening or persistent, call

a conservation officer (1-877-952-7277) or the police (250-284-3353).



Welcome our new Emergency Coordinator, Maria Farrell.

Maria is a long-time resident of Port Alice, member of the volunteer fire department and a paramedic.

The Emergency Coordinator maintains the Port Alice Emergency Response Plan, develops procedures for warning notification and provisions, and helps promotes public awareness and coordinates with the regional and provincial agencies.

In the event of a local emergency such as earthquake, landslide or tsunami, Maria will operate the Emergency Evacuation Center at the Community Centre, coordinate emergency response and services, and ensure that necessary assistance is provided to the public.

Emergency Preparedness Week May 3-9, 2015

The Port Alice Community

Centre is your Reception Centre

for emergencies. There you will

also find pamphlets on various

emergency situations.

For full details and specific

emergency information, visit the

Port Alice website:

http://portalice.ca/village-

office/emergency-services

Are you prepared?

In the North Island emergencies can include wildfire, severe weather, landslide, earthquake, tsunami, and land, air and marine accidents.

The Village of Port Alice has an established Emergency Preparedness Program which includes specific emergency plans and evacuation plans that will be activated in the event of an emergency.

As a citizen of Port Alice, you have a role and responsibility in emergen-

cy management to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Understanding that emergency personnel will be tasked with numerous roles and responsibilities during an emergency, we need you to take responsibility for your family.

Most importantly:

1. Know the risks

http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/hzd/index-en.aspx

2. Make a Plan and Practice a household emergency evacuation:

Can you evacuative within 30 minutes or less?

http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/plns/index-en.aspx

3. Ensure that you have an emergency kit in your household that

will protect your family and pets for at least 72 hours.

Port Alice Scotiabank MS Walk

Sunday, May 10, 2015

Port Alice Community Centre

The 5km dog friendly walk (10 km if you walk the route

twice) starts at the community centre and follows the Sea

Walk. Participants can turn around any time. Dog friendly!

After the walk, enjoy a great barbeque lunch and the

inspiring company of others working to end MS.

Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world with an

estimated 100,00 Canadians living with the disease.

Most often diagnosed in young adults aged 15-40, it can

also affect younger children and older adults. MS is unpre-

dictable and can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance

and mobility. Its effects can be physical, emotional and

financial. Currently there is no cure, but each day re-

searchers are learning more about what causes MS and

are zeroing in on ways to prevent it. Help us end MS—

register today!

Register in advance at www.mswalks.ca

or call toll free 1-877-339-0819

Raise a minimum of $125 for an event t-shirt and lunch.

Welcome! Hope Offered!

Port Alice is facing some uncertainty with lots of questions and tough choices. You are not alone with your questions and concerns.

It used to be that in times of uncertainty the Church was a good place to go and sit and try to sort things out. Usu-ally this was done in the quiet of the day or after worship folks would gather to sort out how to move forward. At church, we knew we were not alone; we were able to connect with each other face-to-face.

Today we live in a time where we have all kinds of tools to connect with each other. The ironic thing is that our amount of face time has decreased. Time spent with a person over coffee or sharing a moment together is get-ting harder and harder to find. It makes times when we face a crisis so much harder. We would like to help our community through this difficult time. Know that we are here.

We are St. John’s church at the corner of Marine Drive and Nigei Street and our minister is Rev. Wade Allen (cell # 250-230-6044). We meet at 4:00 p.m. on Sundays for fellowship, worship, music, laughter and hope. Come spend some time with people who care. You are always welcome.

Can we help?

Port Alice History Notes...

The Heritage Office is looking for any memorabilia of Port Alice and its past functions, including T-shirts,

sweatshirts, hats, yearbooks, photographs, buttons, pins, event programs, etc. If you have anything that you

would be willing to donate or lend to us, please call Evelyn at 284-6608, or drop off at the Village Office.

The District of Port Alice (Rumble Beach) was incorporated as

B.C.’s first instant municipality on June 11, 1965 when the

Provincial Government and Rayonier Canada partnered to

relocate the company town. The original company town of Port

Alice was located at the pulp mill site between 1917 and 1965. In

the mid-sixties, the Provincial Government required the mill to

install pollution control infrastructure. To make room for the new

infrastructure, the buildings were torn down or removed from the

mill site and the town relocated five kilometres north to Rumble

Beach.

The location was named after Mike Rumble. The Rumbles were

one of Port Alice’s first families who spent their holidays in a tent

on the beach approximately where the picnic shelter is located at

present-day Lion’s Park.

Port Alice town site in 1967. The town moved from the mill site to the

“Rumble Beach” location in 1965.

Construction continues in 1967.
