Pioneer Cottages are ground floor entry, 1-bedroom patio units, with a total of 41 rental units.
THE PIONEERS
Our Residences
Pioneer Towers
Pioneer Towers is located at 4467 Wallace Street in Port Alberni. Our central location provides a short walk or commute to the library, museum, grocery stores, and drug stores. Pioneer Towers has an Activity Room complete with a stage and kitchen facilities. The Activity Room is available for tenant activities as well as business meetings.

Pioneer Towers is a 57-unit apartment building for seniors 55+ that officially opened in 1971. Given its age, the building required some upgrades to extend the life of the building. A building renewal project was completed in 2025. As part of that project, the windows and exterior cladding were replaced. In addition, upgrades to the electrical and heating systems, renovations to the laundry and activity room, and interior painting were completed by the society. No tenants were displaced while renovations took place. We are grateful for the financial support of BC Housing which funded this project.

Pioneer Cottages
Pioneer Cottages is located at 4116 10th Avenue in Port Alberni. Also centrally located this complex is steps away from our local recreation facility, library, and museum. Cottage units all have in-suite laundry, storage, and walk-in showers. The Cottages are situated in a park-like setting and provide comfortable ground floor patios for your leisure activities.
