The Community Arts Council of the Alberni Valley enriches individual and community life through sharing and shaping the cultural environment of the Alberni Valley New Visitor Centre For the Valley Good News! This project has been over four years in the planning and fund raising stages and its time has come. A high-profile new Visitor Centre building will be a valuable new piece of infrastructure supporting our tourism operators and all valley businesses. Sorry for the mess but we're still open 7 days a week!
