MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: With the summer now upon us and more staff available we're able to get back onto one of our favourite projects - the Member Spotlight. Today's feature Member is a business owned and operated by a young woman named Carley who moved to Port Alberni from Vancouver several months ago. She loves it here not only for herself but for her 8 year old daughter who is very happy in school having made many new friends in Port Alberni. When I asked Carley why she opted to leave Vancouver she explained that there were many reasons for the change including a family pull as her brother lives here. That was one reason. Another is the cost of living vs. what she was paying out in Vancouver. One thing she pointed out was 'parking.' Something we never really consider is that we're able to go places around Port Alberni - park our vehicle and then do what we wish. Carley and her daughter love to hike trails and when in Vancouver she was faced with upwards of a 45 minute drive to get to the forest and then.....she had to pay for parking at fees of $15.00 plus. In fact, Carley tells me that her monthly parking costs were in excess of $100.00 per month and that didn't include residential or work parking. In order to move here Carley did give up a very good career as she was an Executive Assistant with Lulu Lemon in Vancouver. She'd spent a number of years with the organization and while she loved it and speaks very highly of the organization she just couldn't ignore the opportunities of our lifestyle and of the assets available for her daughter. Today Carley operates SMOOTHOLOGY a wonderful little business located around the corner from Azalea Flowers in the strip mall area behind Jim's Clothes Closet. Her menu features healthy foods only as one can experience with a delicious smoothy made from berries, oats, avocado and many other healthy foods. She's excited to be adding to her menu in the coming weeks! So, if you haven't been to Smoothology do yourself a favour and go meet Carley. Not only will you enjoy the product you'll be equally impressed with the young woman behind the business. #smoothology #ExplorePortAlberni #Memberspotlight Find Carley on Facebook and/or Instagram at : Smoothology
