The City of Port Alberni local government is committed to providing local services,
facilities, safety and infrastructure for the community. Through a sensible approach to
municipal government, the City recognizes the need to balance social, environmental,
economic and cultural perspectives in all aspects of its operations and services. The
City also places special emphasis on ‘sustainability,’ ensuring that the needs of today’s
citizens are met while also planning strategically for the needs of future generations.

The City of Port Alberni is made up of nine internal departments and one external
department, the RCMP, and employs over 200 people. Of that, approximately 140 are
full-time positions with the remainder being either part-time or casual. These employees
are dedicated to serving the public by helping manage City-led programs and
operating City-owned facilities. Each department reports to the Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO) who undertakes the management and administration of City operations.

At the close of each year, departments conduct performance reviews to gain insight into
the achievements of staff, analyze departmental spending in relation to the annual budget
and forecast the allocation of staff resources based on the Five-Year Financial Plan. This
information is then compiled into an annual report for the public’s consideration.
