Launches department website
A new website has been launched by City of Powell River’s parks, recreation and culture department.
The site is more user friendly and responsive on mobile and computer platforms than the previous technology, which proved to be inadequate.
The website is consolidated, easy to navigate and everything Powell River residents need to know about parks, recreation and culture in the city is posted, including information on fitness classes, sports fields, beaches, events and booking venues.
The website also has links to community pages.
Enhances ocean viewing
Public binoculars and interpretive signage for viewing ocean wildlife will be installed by City of Powell River under an agreement with Powell River’s Wild Ocean Whale Society (WOWS).
Viewing locations will be at Westview Viewpoint, Spirit Square and Townsite Viewpoint.
The society will retain all revenues from use of the coin-operated binoculars and be required to clean, maintain and replace them as required.
Powell River Community Forest recently awarded a $44,167 grant to WOWS for the setup.
