.......so they "set up a podium" at the cox Bay Visitors Center to make the announcement. How much did that cost? Why did there need to be a fancy "announcement? And a photo shoot? How much was the photographer paid?
What is/was the purpose of this "announcement"?
My point?...... They got some money, so they gotta spend it. On something. It's called "waste".

I wonder if they will cut down as wide a swath of trees as in the park.

OMG!! The trees!! What about the poor trees. Save the trees!! Stop the bike path!! Build a wall, keep the people "over there". Excuse me, I gotta go puke.

This is great news for our residents and visitors. Adults and children on bikes riding on the narrow highway shoulder to join the Parks Canada path would be very dangerous and a real concern.
Great news, worthy of a fancy announcement, podium and all!

Of course this is a good thing. If I recall correctly, the Province had previously offered up a million through the Regional District to the same cause. Will Tofino be putting anything in the pot? This could be very expensive couple of kilometers of trail.

Not saying it is not a good cause but on these types of projects, big gov,t money will definitely overspend. Just look at the performance in the Park. No experience.

Just wish there was a similar package of cash to do something about water. Council keeps offering it up as the reason for not approving some housing developments. Seems like a higher priority. Of course "take the money".

This is indeed great news. Perhaps we should have a festival to celebrate! Let's see, who could we get to set this up for us? Perhaps we need to get a consultant to help us figure out how to go about doing it properly?

I agree we should hire a consultant/builder to design and build the path. If Tofino relies on our own engineer, the job will take years to build, will be over complicated and run way over budget.

9:06 I couldn't agree more, Tofino should never have hired the current engineer, he needs to go!
