Chamber speaks on behalf of Local Business

After weeks of meetings with our Civic Affairs Committee and Board of Directors we are pleased to confirm that the City of Port Alberni has recognized that it is best for all that they refocus their attention on Garbage Services to the Residential side and in particular to the community wide desire to get Organic Waste Collection in place. The city at its council meeting on Monday, June 8th decided to opt out of the Commercial Garbage Pick up services thus allowing the Private Sector to compete among themselves without having to also compete with the City.

Here is an article written in the AV Times summarizing Monday's meeting
