This great little colouring book will keep young people busy for hours. The 16 line drawings by Tofino artist Marion Syme leave lots of room for creative colouring.

A Taste of Tofino – Saturday, March 17
Friday night is the kick-off to the Pacific Rim Whale Festival. Saturday is the first full day of events and we’ll be participating in the Taste of Tofino Community Market. And we’re so pleased to say that we’ll have Historic Tofino available for sale. The boxes have just arrived from the printer!
Off to the printers!
Historic Tofino: A Walk in Time is finally done. It’s off to the printers and we anticipate the boxes arriving in a few weeks. This labour of love has been a long time coming, but we’re very pleased with the results (and the updated cover). We’re sure you will be too.
We’re having a launch and guided walk on Sunday, March 25 as part of the Pacific Rim Whale Festival. Meet at the office of the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, 316 Main Street.
