This fall, we're Inspiring a Love for Alberni Valley by celebrating the love that residents have for their hometown and encouraging tourism that honours and respects local culture, people, and the environment.
Recently, we met with Nilo Du Plessis, owner of the newly opened (October 24th) @antidotedistillingco, in the heart of Port Alberni, and Célia Auclair of @forestfordinner as they tell us why they chose the Alberni Valley to start their businesses, and how their collaboration shows the true spirit of the Alberni Valley.
Join Auclair and Du Plessis to uncover Port Alberni in this first of a new “Love for the Alberni Valley” series. Through their eyes—and curated recommendations—you’re invited to #ExplorePortAlberni and discover its lush, intoxicating twincity vibe.

Beginning in August, thousands of sockeye, coho and chinook salmon circle in the pool below Stamp Falls before ascending the fish ladders on their way to spawning beds. Sockeye salmon begin running in August, and the run continues with coho and chinook right into December. The salmon are a draw for black bears that head to the river for an easy meal and to fatten up their winter reserves, preparing for the slower food months to come. When in wilderness areas, take safety precautions to avoid wildlife. 📷 - @weemaybe. 📍Traditional territory of the Hupacasath, Tseshaht First Nations.

As the seasons change from summer to fall, various salmon species, such as Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye, will journey from the open ocean back to their natal streams to spawn🐟🐟🐟. Did you know that salmon use scents and chemical cues, along with the position of the sun, to navigate with astounding accuracy? This video was taken overlooking the Stamp River, an offshoot of the Somass River system that empties into the Alberni Inlet in Port Alberni itself. The Stamp finds its way through stunning countryside to Great Central Lake, which is one of the biggest lakes on Vancouver Island. The entire river system is one of BC’s top Salmon migration routes where tens of thousands of fish, typically Sockeye, Coho, Chinook and others, find their way to spawning grounds in order to start the cycle over again 🐟. 🎥 - @juliedionneg /📍Stamp River Falls📍Traditional territory of the Hupacasath, Tseshaht First Nations.
