Key Dates

Port Alberni is set to reclaim its waterfront with the signing of the Somass Lands master development agreement between the City of Port Alberni and Matthews West Developments Ltd. (Matthews West), a private Canadian development company based in Squamish, BC.

With a signed agreement in hand, the City will begin sharing investigative studies from remediation and site preparation work completed to date. This will establish the foundation for securing all necessary provincial and federal permits, enabling both parties to collaboratively establish a development concept aligned with the intended land use.
