Alert Bay is a village on Cormorant Island, in the Regional District of Mount Waddington, British Columbia, Canada.  Approximately 1200 to 1500 people live within the village.

Alert Bay is the oldest community on Vancouver Island.  It was formerly a fishing village and heritage buildings and old village houses on the waterfront still speak of the early pioneer days where a fish saltery was located in 1870.  The waterfront boardwalks, ferry dock, and marinas bustle with life, but most vivid today is the living culture of the ‘Namgis First Nation of the Kwakwaka’wakw.

Alert Bay is internationally renowned as a centre for First Nation culture.


Alert Bay has much to offer the outdoor enthusiast.  Cormorant Island is one of the stops and departure points for kayak tours, whale watching, and fishing in Knight Inlet, Kingcome Inlet, and the Broughton Archipelago.  

The island is a haven for birds, bird watchers, photo buffs, and hikers along the boardwalks and trails throughout the community and ecological park.

Comments from our guests and members 

Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.

Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?  


Derren Brown on Mentalism and Mind Reading. How did he do that! If he were a snake oil salesman, he would have convinced us he had the cure for whatever it was that ailed us. Fantastic and unusual TED talk.

September 9.  The clip on the positive effects of reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone was incredible.  Good things come from some very ferocious animals.
-- Keith Evans, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Nice to see the Terry Fox video. It is amazing how Terry inspired so many and he started it with a run across Canada to get donations of one million dollars towards cancer research.  And now to have his "runs” take place worldwide and total donations reach $750 million. Such an inspiration!
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

September 2.  Seeing our planet from space and everyone wanting a picture of their hometown.  This made him the hometown hero, since everyone is happy of their origin.
-- Alex Jonathan Twinamatsiko, Rotaract Club of Kampala Muyenga Breeze, District 9211
