My Last but not least favorite “Green Space” in Port Alberni is the Kitsuskis Dyke, a beautiful 5 minute stroll from Victoria Quay, just past the marina on the other side of Hwy.#4. A plethora of animals and birds, a flat easy stroll takes about 40 minutes round trip, a favorite spot where people stroll their dogs or jog! TSVETOMIR ILIEV THE BEAUTY OF BARK Self-taught Bulgarian artist Tsvetomir explores the beauty in the combination of small pieces of fallen tree bark and acrylic paint. You can see more of Tsvetomir’s creative and beautiful work at https://www. saatchiart.com/barkflower The people of Port Alberni are now demanding the local government to give back the old waterfront business properties that aren’t being used anymore to their rightful owners ( the People) to transform the beautiful waterfront into a more tourist/people friendly town as over 600,000 tourists travel through Port Alberni to the outer west coast of Vancouver island..... the gorgeous seaside communities and wilderness of Ucululet and Tofino! Thanks for visiting my small city!! 64 65
