Port Alberni Community Arena

The Port Alberni Community Arena was an indoor arena in the Canadian city of Port Alberni, British Columbia.
It opened as the Port Alberni Civic Arena in 1963, along with the adjacent Alberni Valley Curling Club, as the main sports venue for the then-twin cities of Port Alberni and Alberni. It is part of a larger sports/recreational area known as Recreation Park, which also has tennis courts, an outdoor lacrosse rink, a playground with kids' wading pool, a youth center and a baseball diamond and attached small stadium, Recreation Stadium. It played host to local minor hockey leagues and was also a venue for Western Hockey League preseason games, figure skating shows and public ice skating sessions as well as appearances by the Vancouver Canucks oldtimers hockey team. It was also host to several wrestling events presented by NWA All-Star Wrestling.
The Community Arena closed in 2001 when the Alberni Valley Multiplex opened on Roger Street in June that year. The arena's interior was subsequently renovated and renamed as the Industrial Heritage Centre, a workshop space for the Western Vancouver Island Industrial Heritage Society, while the Alberni Valley Curling Club continues to operate at its present location next to the Industrial Heritage Centre.
