Other things to note
As proud Tribal Parks Allies, we are honoured to live, work, and play in the unceded territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. 1% of our earnings are shared with the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks as an eco-system service fee, to honour their title, and guardianship of these sacred lands and waters.
Prepare for water restrictions in the summer months.
Drier and busier summers are impacting Tofino's water supply. Join this region's long history of stewardship by using less water. Tofino's tap water is collected with gratitude from the old-growth forests protected by the ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht) Tribal Parks.
Ensuring a sufficient supply for essential services like firefighting and maintaining adequate drinking water for the community is the goal for the following restrictions.
The District of Tofino greatly appreciates your efforts to preserve our natural resources. Make every drop count!
Thank You!
