Steam is BACK

Please take a look at this most welcome Press Release. Our Tri-Conic Challenge for this year - planned for Canada Day, Sunday, July 1st will, yes it will, feature the 1929 Steam Locomotive just as we did for the very successful No. 7 Challenge in 2016. Our event features a 10k, a 1/2 marathon and yes a full marathon all of which conclude at the McLean Mill National Historic Site near Port Alberni. There will be family events, a beer garden*, free burger/beer for registrants - those of age and lots more to see and do. http://www.triconic.ca   Plus....this event will showcase the 61st Annual Canada Day Parade as well! Our Runners will head north on 3rd Avenue while the Parade heads south at the same time. The Train of course will be alongside also heading north while desparately trying to beat the runners.

DBA Silencing

DBA SILENCING IS A PRIVATE COMPANY HEADQUARTERED IN PORT ALBERNI, BRITISH COLUMBIA. IT IS A FAMILY BUSINESS THAT WAS BUILT UP OVER SEVERAL DECADES BY ARCHIE AND SHIRLEY CARDINAL, AND THEN RUN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BY THEIR DAUGHTER TINA. THE FIRM’S CURRENT MANAGEMENT TEAM INCLUDES CYDNEY PEDERSEN, ARCHIE AND SHIRLEY’S GRANDDAUGHTER, WHO REPRESENTS A THIRD GENERATION AT THE HELM.

 

SPEAKING OF OWNERSHIP: WAGS HAVE ON OCCASION SUGGESTED THAT “DBA” STANDS FOR “DESIGNED BY ARCHIE”. ALTHOUGH IT’S TRUE THAT ARCHIE CONTINUES TO CONSULT ON SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS, THE “DBA” IN “DBA SILENCING” IS ACTUALLY AN ACOUSTIC ACRONYM RELATED TO DECIBELS AND THE RELATIVE LOUDNESS OF SOUNDS AS PERCEIVED BY THE HUMAN EAR.

 

DBA PROVIDES EXHAUST, AIR INTAKE, AND COOLANT COMPONENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRIES: MINING, LOGGING, AND MARINE. MANY OF THE PARTS WE OFFER ARE STANDARD ITEMS, BUT WE ALSO SOLVE PROBLEMS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS BY DEVELOPING AND MANUFACTURING CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS.
