Port Alberni, BC and North Island College train students on sustainable building deconstruction

Port Alberni, BC North Island College Sustainable Building

Port Alberni's 43-acre Somass Lands project will turn a former sawmill into housing and storefronts with abundant green space. Twelve NIC students learn how to salvage materials from the sawmill for new buildings during this program. Hands-on experiences bring lessons on safety protocols, hazardous material handling, and construction tool use to life. Port Alberni, NIC, and Synergy Enterprises received a provincial grant covering the program's costs for students.
