Check out our Awards Page for information on all of our winners for 2015. Pictured here is Daniel Tsai who received a special award courtesy of West Coast Home Hardware owned and operated by Jan and Karen Lavertu. Daniel is one of Port Alberni's newest Entrepreneurs and at barely over 16 years of age he is clearly our youngest! Well done Daniel!
WCMRC is the only Transport Canada-certified marine response organization on Canada’s West Coast. On average, we respond to 20 spills each year.
Our mandate is to ensure there is a state of preparedness in place when a marine spill occurs and to mitigate the impacts on B.C.’s coast. This includes the protection of wildlife, economic and environmental sensitivities, and the safety of both responders and the public.
WCMRC is an industry-funded organization with more than 2,300 members. Membership is mandatory for vessels of a certain size calling on Canadian ports, as well as for oil-handling facilities receiving or shipping oil across their docks.
