The Port Alberni hospital is expanding. A $4 million building permit has been issued for the addition of over 2400 sq.ft. including extra space for patients, improvements to the triage and admitting area, and a separate entrance for ambulances. Kinetic Construction will be building the expansion, and construction is expected to be complete late in 2022. 

Campbell River: Potential addition of leasable lands near the Airport.

The City of Campbell River and the Campbell River Airport are reviewing options to expand the leasable lands available near the Airport, including reviewing bylaws related to subdivision, development and services. The airport has two unused serviced lots, however, contamination deems them unusable at this time. Remaining existing leasable lots are un-serviced and too large for some potential customer’s needs, requiring a subdivision.
