Avatar Grove – Making a Stand
/in Thank YouTweet
The AFA sends a big THANK YOU to the four bright and dedicated students from Pearson College that put together an excellent 7 minute documentary on the Avatar Grove and Vancouver Island’s threatened old-growth forests. Liz Welliver, Amelia Redmond, Luke Hunter, and Danielle de Jonge toured the Grove with AFA’s Ken Wu and TJ Watt in late February and afterwards also interviewed several local business owners and political representatives during their stay. The result is a fun and informative video that does a great job in capturing the campaign detail nuances which shorter news clips typically lack. Pearson College, located in Metchosin on Vancouver Island BC, is an international school for gifted students in grade 10-12.

Port Renfrew Chamber News
/in News CoverageTweet
The March 17 Ancient Forest Alliance and Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce fundraiser was a very big success. I would like to thank the Sooke Harbour House, The Ancient Forest Alliance and Adriane Carr for making the event all possible.
I would also like to thank Paul George and Vicky Husband and all of the folks who came out to support our endeavor.
We raised $6,100 in pledges and cash donations, and made new friends who own companies who are able to give a hand in other areas.
All in all we could not have asked for anything better. Thank you one and all.
We are right on target for opening May 1 and look forward to a very busy season. Please come up for a visit.
On another note, Port Renfrew has also entered the Ultimate Fishing Town competition.
As everyone else, we too feel we have the best fishing in the world.
Good luck to all everyone and may the best town win.
Rose Betsworth – Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce President
