  • David McCormick, Port Alberni Port Authority, Luncheon Presentation

    David McCormick is Director of Public Relations and Business Development for the Port Alberni Port Authority. He will present at our Chamber luncheon on Nov. 16/17. The Authority is working to develop a new container terminal to serve more international traffic. If undertaken, the terminal will have enormous economic benefits locally and nationally.

    • 7 days’ sailing time savings for large container ships
    • 14.5 million kilometres fewer truck trips in Greater Vancouver leads to the reduction of 22,000 tons of CO2 emissions
    • Dramatically improved import / export opportunities for the more than 2200 Vancouver Island businesses, and the jobs they create, in goods production and manufacturing on Vancouver Island 
    • Estimated annual savings to Greater Vancouver commuters of $76Million
    • Economic Impact of over 288,000 FTE Canadian Jobs and an increase of $21.3 Billion to Canada’s GDP
    • Enhanced Gateway security resiliency and diversity
    • Unlocking land potential and economic growth for the ever-increasing Vancouver Island population
    Dave McCormick is the Director of Public Relations and Business Development with the Port Alberni Port Authority. Since joining PAPA in 2010 he’s helped facilitate numerous initiatives and business development successes while building strong partnerships, such as with VIEA, Chambers of Commerce and the City of Port Alberni to achieve a positive profile and economic development for the community and region. Dave holds Bachelor of Business Administration and MBA degrees. He lives in Port Alberni with his wife and two rescued pit bull dogs where he is a breed advocate and an avid hockey and baseball player and fan.
