New Award Winning Visitor Centre to Host Grand Opening

A breaching Orca, a collection of live oysters, a Vancouver Island Marmot and a diverse indoor forest have all found a beautiful new home in the Comox Valley. Their home, at the Vancouver Island Visitor Centre (VIVC), which won the top prize last week at the VIREB Commercial Building Awards, will host a public Grand Opening celebration on Saturday April 28, 10 am to 3 pm.

The event will include local culture, tourism and industry businesses and groups who will present a full slate of indoor and outdoor activities, demonstrations, and entertainment for the event, �We�ve had a terrific number of visitors and locals through the Centre already since late January, when we held our soft opening,� said Kelly Barnie, on-site Manager of the VIVC, �This public Grand Opening will give locals a chance to experience this award winning centre in full swing, enjoy some hands-on family friendly activities and meet many of the groups and companies who worked on the project or who are now offering their tours and activities through the Centre.�

For those who haven�t had a chance to experience the new Centre, mark Saturday April 28 in your calendar. Additional information can be found on facebook.com/VIVisitorCentre or call the VIVC at 250-400-2882.
