We have been getting some GREAT comments about our Alert Bay Campground since it has been reopened. However there was a HUGE concern about the dog owners not picking up after their dogs. Lets all do our part to keep our island clean and please pick up after your dogs.

BC Hydro Scheduled Power Outage July 15, 2021

We're performing work on our system in your area that requires us to temporarily turn off your electricity service.

Planned power outage details (WO W02060264-01)

Locations: ALERT BAY

From: Thursday, July 15, 2021 07:00 AM (estimated)

To: Thursday, July 15, 2021 05:00 PM (estimated)

Reason: System Upgrade

Prepare for the outage

Before the outage begins, turn off electric heaters, major appliances and unplug sensitive electronics to protect them from damage. If you rely on electric medical equipment or access doors, have a plan to maintain use.

More ways to prepare

Why we plan power outages

Planned outages allow us to safely maintain and improve our electric system, which helps reduce the frequency of unplanned outages caused by storms and equipment failures. We understand that outages are inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience.

How we plan outage times

Planned power outages may be cancelled without notice due to safety, adverse weather or emergencies. Get the latest status of your planned outage online or give us a call at 1 800 BCHYDRO (1 800 224 9376).

Thank you for understanding. We'll restore your power as soon as possible.

We know there has been some concern with regards to the new street lights being rolled out.  This post is to let you know that Hydro is going to come in and place a few of the new LED lights to help us make our choices for the replacement process.  They are going to put two by BC Ferries on Fir street.  One closest to the ferry will be a 162 watt and 114 watt closer to town. Then there will be two on Alder Road by the Alert Bay Campground one will be a 39 watt and the other will be a 75 watt LED. So there will be some test lights arriving in Alert Bay in the near future.
