Water Restriction Sign !! July 2,2011
From the Westerly News:
"Council has agreed to grant the Raincoast Education Society $1,000 "to support printing and shipping costs for signage to create awareness about water conservation restrictions for residents and visitors to the Tofino region," as stated in a letter to council.
The sign will be placed at the visitor information center across from Cox Bay.
RES staff will be responsible for changing the sign, or moving the arrow, when water restrictions occur.
Council will use funds out of leftover council grants for the signage."
So now when people arrive in town there will be a sign reminding them of the 2006 water fiasco ! How about a sign that says "We have spent millions and millions upgrading our water system so feel free to use the hot tub or dishwasher or whatever you like !! " The "War On Tourism" continues....

Press Release from Raincoast Education Society
Press Release – from the Raincoast Education Society
June 30th, 2011
Tofino, BC
The Raincoast Education Society (RES) is pleased to announce the 2011-2012 Tofino Water Stewardship Program. Over the next 20 months, the RES will be working with businesses, visitors and local residents to foster a water conservation ethic in Tofino. Through a comprehensive education, outreach and communication program, the RES will work to achieve the following goals:
(i) Increase water literacy (knowledge amongst water users of Tofino - residents, businesses, and visitors - about where our water comes from and how we use it).
(ii) Promote water-use efficiency and conservation practices to improve long-term water security.
(iii) Reduce overall Tofino water consumption.
Tofino receives over three meters of rain a year; however, very little of this water is collected for municipal use. In fact, the majority of our water comes from Sharp Creek on Meares Island, which, during our droughty summer months when water demand is highest, can experience extreme water shortages. For example, prolonged summer drought in the summer of 2006 led to Tofino water shortages that forced a temporary closure of almost all business. Indeed, we need to re-think our relationship with water and build an ethic to reflect a more sustainable and efficient use of this precious resource. The Raincoast Education Society’s Tofino Water Stewardship Program is here to make that happen!
Throughout the summer, we will be delivering public water conservation programs and outreach (come visit us on Canada Day at the village green) and we will be updating our website (www.raincoasteducation.org) with daily Tofino water use data so you can stay up to date on our summer water consumption. We also have a link on our website to an on-line survey where you can help us gauge local water awareness and stewardship practices.
In addition, we are offering FREE water conservation audits for residents interested in participating in a water monitoring program to track water use from 2011 to 2012. Someone from our team will come to your home to provide water conservation tips to help you reduce overall water consumption and save you money! If you are interested in participating in our water conservation monitoring program, please contact Kimberly Johnston: kimberly@raincoasteducation.org or call: 250-725-2560.
If you have any questions about our water stewardship program or if you want to share your water conservation tips, please send us an email (info@raincoasteducation.org), give us a call (250-725-2560) or visit our facebook page: TofinoH20 (http://www.facebook.com/home.php). We look forward to hearing from you!

Sobo Safe Stolen !!!!
SOBO SAFE STOLEN !!!
Ralph If you could post this somewhere that would be great. On Canada day night a couple people distracted our dishwasher at the back door at which time one individual went downstairs, into our office and stole a safe containing most of our staff tips, and paychecks. They knew where the safe was as nothing else was touched, laptop etc were left behind. The safe is a small fireproof, of about 40 pounds, full of colored fabric pencil cases with names of our staff on them. These are parents and rent payers, hardworking folk of our community, one new mum that is building a house had just over a thousand dollars taken alone. Every member of our team was violated on this one and it sure leaves a bad taste in our mouths as we have our annual staff party tonight. Any information concerning this matter would be greatly appreciated. thanks for the opportunity to disperse information about the goings on in our town Ralph.
