The Credit Union Brings its Port Alberni Branch and Agency Together Under One Roof
ADRIAN LEGIN
PORT ALBERNI – Coastal Community Credit Union is hosting a Grand Opening for its modern new building in Port Alberni on Friday, September 9th from 11 am to 1 pm. The Peak radio station will be on location, and everyone is invited to drop by for light refreshments, draw prizes and a tour of the location.
The new address for the Port Alberni Branch and Agency is 4721 Johnston Road. The brand new build is located within the traditional territories of the Hupacasath and Tseshaht First Nations, and the event will include a Ceremonial Welcome from these communities.
The new location opened to the public on July 25th and unites Coastal Community’s banking, insurance*, wealth management through Credential Securities,** and commercial business lines. “We’re really looking forward to showing people around our reimagined new space,” said Adrian Legin, President and CEO of Coastal Community. “Bringing together all of our expertise under one roof is a more effective way to provide advice-based conversations, and that’s the heart of our business. When a need or opportunity is identified, we can take care it.”
Coastal Community had sustainability top of mind when constructing the new building. From purchasing chair fabrics made from 100% recycled collected ocean plastic to using VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, the credit union planned the build to reduce its carbon footprint. Port Alberni residents can even take advantage of an EV charging station in the parking lot.
According to Legin, it’s all part of providing an even better service experience. “We’re evolving to better suit people’s needs,” he said. “This move allows us to provide financial advice to our members and clients at a whole new level.”
