The Alberni Harbour Quay features a colourful collection of waterfront shops, galleries, and eateries, and is also where you’ll find the clock tower, which grants panoramic views of the Alberni Inlet. You will also find the boarding area for the MV Frances Barkley, a passenger and freight vessel that offers scenic journeys to Bamfield and Ucluelet on the west coast. Take a stroll to view the commercial fishing fleet, large shipping vessels and pleasure craft marinas. There’s also a children’s park for families to spend the afternoons.
Lunch: Will be at the Starboard Grill on the quay at 12:00 noon

Please enter your photos on the website following the sizing and category specifications. If you entered in the assignment #1 please send them to president.opc@gmail.com and I will make sure they are included in the slide show. Let’s have some fun with this since we are asked to stay at home or keep social distancing.
