On November 15th, Tofino Arts Council invites you to join them at @commonloafbakeshop to celebrate the launch of a fascinating new book, "The Seabird Trials: How a Scientist took Big Oil to Court and Won", from Briony Penn.

In the aftermath of one of the deadliest oil spills in the Pacific, two friends -one Canadian, one American, and both seabird biologists- were called upon to testify on opposite sides of a landmark case. Their friendship became one of the many casualties of the spill, along with 10,000 seabirds.

Books will be available to purchase, courtesy of @mermaidtalesbookshop

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.

Join the Tofino Community Food Initiative next week to make cranberry jelly together with cranberries lovingly picked in Ahousaht. 

You'll get toLearn about making cranberry jam in a water bath, take a jar home, and help us make more that will be sold as a fundraiser for our school garden programs. 

$18 per person

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!
