The Chamber of Commerce is pleased to bring the Vancouver Island Running Association back to Port Alberni. The VIRA have a series of runs that occur between January and April every year throughout the Island with each of them attracting as many as 500 - 600 runners to town. We will be doing the former Paper Chase run through the rural area of Cherry Creek with a start/finish at the Cherry Creek Hall. Our run will be a 10 k run. www.islandseries.org

Brie and Barrel - Sharie Minions
Brie & Barrel was inspired by a small wine bar in Sidney BC. Owner's Sharie & Colin Minions had a dream to create an elegant restaurant featuring quality wines, local craft beer, and unique flavourful dishes utilizing local ingredients wherever possible.
The space was quickly chosen and work began. Since the start, Brie & Barrel has prided itself on an always changing menu to an ever growing wine list featuring the best of local and international small wineries. Brie & Barrel always has something new and exciting to try.
With our most recent change, Brie & Barrel is excited to now be home to a beautiful new luxurious covered patio space and a stunning garden section covered in wisteria vines. Each table equipped with it's own personal table-top fire to enhance your dining experience, we are so proud of the space we've created at Brie & Barrel.
