Another Fantastic Trip to Port Alice!
Good morning
I was in Port Alice between May 31st and June 5th.
While Alberta was once again having late snow storms Vancouver Island and Port Alice were setting records with temperatures between the high 20’s and low 30’s.
During the week I was in Port Alice, the engineer met with the village and the contractor for services to the Copper Coast property. It has now been determined that a lift station for the sewer will be installed rather than a gravity flow system. One of the issues at hand has been the creek adjacent to the property that needs to be worked around. This issue has been resolved and the drawings are being redrawn so as not to disturb the creek and the contractor can start the trenching and installation of sewer and water lines ASAP.
Right now an excavator for the project is leveling the lot where the first of two homes will be built. Construction will start in July. We are excited to have something going up on site very soon.
The other good news is that Copper Coast is now officially a builder member of National Home Warranty.
Of course, while in Port Alice myself, the engineer and the former mayor of Port Alice, Larry Pepper, had a day out on the water. It was too rough that day to go to the open ocean but they spent a happy, sunny day in the inlet. They saw lots of eagles and also watched sea otters crack shellfish on their chests. They brought home about 180 prawns. On the drive in to Port Alice I also saw some beautiful big black bears.
