COMING SOON: ✨ Tofino Winter Nights + Hot Cocoa Trail ✨
It's the season to have a gourd time around Tofino 🎃

It is with an immense amount of gratitude that we get to live on and visit these lands stewarded by the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations for millennia.
The forest helps us find calm and connection to ourselves and the ecosystem surrounding us. One of the traditional teachings from the Tla-o-qui-aht Nation is His-shuk-nish-tsa-waak: “everything is one.” Please tread carefully and respectfully here.
Clayoquot Biosphere Trust shares that “95% of the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere is temperate rainforest and more than half of this is considered highly productive old growth (older than 250 years and produces high biodiversity).”
Tofino is situated on the tip of the Esowista Peninsula, within the traditional Ha-Houlthee of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations and their Tribal Parks.
🎥: @lifeofcelie and for the beautiful words in this video.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has announced that road work at the Cameron Lake Bluff wildfire location along Highway 4 will begin on Monday, July 17th, until mid-August.
This means that:
🛑 Traffic will be stopped 9 AM-11:30 AM and 1:30 PM-5 PM daily, Monday to Friday
✅ Flush-through with single-lane-alternating traffic (SLAT) mid-day Monday to Friday; westbound traffic release at 11:30 AM, eastbound release by 12:30 PM
✅ SLAT throughout the evening and overnight from 5 PM-9 AM daily
✅ SLAT all-day Saturdays and Sundays, as well as statutory holidays (i.e.: BC Day, August 7th)
The rock scaling and slope stabilization must be completed during daylight hours for workers’ safety and ahead of the rainy season. MOTI is trying to limit the impacts of travel delays as much as possible while keeping public safety the top priority.
Tofino and Ucluelet are still open, and we look forward to welcoming you to the coast!
If you have more specific questions about travel during the Highway 4 repairs, please contact visitor services or check our website for the Highway 4 Bulletin.
We want to thank our fellow ACRD residents in Port Alberni for supporting the West Coast during the prolonged Hwy 4 road closure, and to the surrounding community for supporting local. We are very grateful for your support; a great reminder that we are all connected.

April Tide Pool
Home to life thriving in many shapes and colours, tide pools feel like a world unto themselves. There is wonder in admiring this marine life while treading lightly 💙

Tofino Shorebird Festival
Sandpipers, plovers, whimbrels, and more 👀
The Tofino Shorebird Festival is migrating back this April 27 to May 7, celebrating the thousands of shorebirds who stop around Tofino on their journey from South and Central America to their Arctic breeding grounds.
Take part in guided birding on the viewing platform at Hotel ZED, or register for the Birds of the West Coast course. Get on the water for bird watching tours with The Whale Centre - and keep your eyes and ears open to the possibilities.
Thanks Raincoast Education Society for hosting this!
Illahee: Whales
Whales of Clayoquot Sound are an integral part of life for the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. For Moses and Carl Martin honouring their magnificence has meant sharing stories of their people, and their connection with these creatures, during whale-watching excursions.

Grey whale sighting
That feeling of floating on the water, while in the company of these gentle giants... It's time to whale watch 🐋
While some whales are friendly and will approach vessels, federal law requires boats to remain a minimum 100 metres distance from most whales, dolphins and porpoises.

A glimpse of life on the water, and of the skills needed to brave some coastal conditions, as the Canadian Coast Guard motor life boat stationed in Tofino, the Cape Ann, took in the surf on sunny Cox Bay yesterday.
Thank you to:
