  1. I think it would be nice to see the district and council adopt the 20% challenge to be 20% more efficient at using our tax dollars properly and not overspending and dropping staff and wages by 20% . Thats a 20% challenge .

  3. To 8:39 I have to agree, but let's be realistic. When you are that overweight you have to start slowly, one lb. at a time. If you are not careful, you will only induce binge eating and we have seen too much of that already.

  4. Here's my 20% challenge to mayor, council, and staff, and lets include our M.P. Gord Johns and our M.L.A. Scott Fraser in the challenge too: We challenge you to lobby the two senior levels of government for additional funding of 20% of the 60M cost of the sewage treatment facility, to represent the portion of the facility that will be used by the tourism sector. That's an additional contribution of $12,000,000, 7M federal and 5M provincial. In addition, we challenge Parks Canada to contribute 3 million, and challenge First Nations to add an additional 1 million, as their fair share of the cost of the facility.
    Tourism Tofino should be good for a few additional dollars as well....... We could paint some fish or polka dots on the building, add some bollards and bike racks.
