The Port Alberni Association for Community Living believes in inclusion for all individuals. Inclusion works both ways, and we are proud to sup
port and promote events in our community.
Some of PAACL participants "give back" to the community on a regular basis.
Tracey walks dogs for the SPCA, and a number of people donate their time at the Salvation Army. Mike has been a familiar face at Westhaven for a number of years and Ken has started giving hours at Rainbow Gardens.
Here are some highlights for previous years:
2014
The 4th Annual Guns N Hoses Hockey Game was held on November 8th this year. It is a charity hockey game between the Port Alberni RCMP and their rivals, the Port Alberni Fire Department. This event raises awareness of PAACL and raises money for the Port Alberni ACL Foundation. The Port Alberni Fire Department won this year's nail biter by a score of 4-3!
The Community Living Month Fun Fair 2014 was held October 23, 2014 at Glenwood Centre. We had games to play, bouncy tents, face painting, crafts and cake walks.
