Students from Ucluelet Secondary School created a series of projects to honour National Truth and Reconciliation Day that celebrate culture, language, health, and well-being. While previous years focused on themes of Truth and Honour, this year's theme, The Way Forward, highlights hope, resilience, and community wellness.

Their work will be showcased alongside the Legacy of Hope Foundation's How to Be an Ally exhibit.

An online workshop for non-Indigenous people to understand settler colonialism, reflect on responsibilities, and build right relationships.

Hosted by Tsimka Martin and Jeanette Sheehy. The online workshop is a welcoming and supportive space for non-Indigenous people aiming to make change, show up well, and work toward right relationship with Indigenous people, communities, and Nations. Together we’ll look at the systems and structures we live within – settler colonialism – and how it functions both structurally (laws etc.) and interpersonally, and the resulting power dynamics and imbalances. Grounded in this awareness, we will talk about settler responsibilities and map existing and potential pathways toward right-relationship.

Indigenous people are more than welcome to attend, knowing we will be discussing the world as it is including descriptions of colonial violence and focusing on the settler responses and feelings that maintain these systems. This workshop is rooted in hope and the possibility of a more loving and just world.

Learn about and honour Indigenous Veterans Day by making beaded poppies with Elizabeth George, a Nuu-chah-nulth artist from Ahousaht First Nation.

Indigenous Veterans Day is observed each year on November 8th. Wearing a beaded poppy is a way to recognize the contributions made by Indigenous members of the military who served in the two world wars and the Korean War and the many who are still serving to this day.

Welcome back festival-goers! 

The Pacific Rim Whale Festival is an annual event celebrating the return of Pacific Grey Whales to the west coast of Vancouver Island on their Northern migration route. The week-long festival hosts a number of fun events throughout Tofino, Ucluelet, and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

Check back soon for more festival details!

The Pacific Rim Whale Festival is a non-profit society that began over 30 years ago with a group of concerned citizens who wanted to create awareness about this pristine ecosystem, the endangered Grey Whale population, and coastal traditions. The festivities each spring are centred around these great ocean giants while focusing on their incredible migration and long-term protection.

Join the West Coast NEST, the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, and local partners for our Biodiversity Discovery Days, a fun and informative three-day celebration of the International Day for Biodiversity!
