District of Tofino Initiates COVID-19 Recovery Planning
District of Tofino Initiates COVID-19 Recovery Planning
Initial Actions Include an Interactive Survey and Economic Recovery Task Force
Today, as part of our ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the District of Tofino is launching a one-week long public engagement process asking residents to share and exchange ideas on the community’s response and recovery. Using an online platform called ThoughtExchange, the District is asking the community to anonymously share your thoughts and ideas, consider the ideas of others, and rate them using a 5-star system.
Over the one-week duration of the ThoughtExchange, participants can check back to see which ideas are resonating with other community members, enter new ideas, and continue to rate ideas as they come in.
The results of the ThoughtExchange, which will be publicly available, will be used to help guide the pandemic response and recovery efforts in Tofino.
Economic Recovery Task Force:
The District of Tofino has also launched the first of two COVID-19 Recovery Task Forces as part of its ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These Task Forces are intended to help advise on and coordinate recovery actions that will help the people and businesses of Tofino get back on their feet again as quickly, and as safely, as possible.
At its April 28, 2020 meeting, Tofino Council formally endorsed the establishment of a Mayor’s Economic Recovery Task Force and a Mayor’s Community Health Task Force to support the District’s recovery efforts in the short term, with a focus on the economic and psycho-social impacts of the pandemic.
Structured as small teams of up to seven participants, the Task Forces are designed to be nimble and responsive, and will be informed by relevant information and data, including the input of residents, businesses and service organizations. The Task Forces will communicate and connect directly with neighbouring First Nations, communities and governments. While the intention of the Task Forces is to take immediate, community-informed actions, the District’s recovery efforts will also lead to opportunities to discuss longer-term community and regional resiliency.
The Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Recovery will be chaired by Mayor Josie Osborne, and includes the following members:
Councillor Andrea McQuade
Dr. Carrie Marshall (Long Beach Physician Lead for the Divisions of Family Practice)
Maureen Fraser (Common Loaf Bakeshop and Tourism Tofino)
J.J. Belanger (Crystal Cove Beach Resort and Tourism Tofino)
Ryan Teremy (Jamie’s Whaling Station and Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce)
The Economic Recovery Task Force will be supported by staff of the District of Tofino, Tourism Tofino and the Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. Expected to be in place for 12-16 weeks, the Task Forces will meet on a weekly basis for the first 1-2 months of their operation.
More information about the Community Health Task Force will be available soon, and regular information on the work of both Task Forces will be made available on the District of Tofino Recovery webpage and social media, as well as through Task Force partner organizations.
You've got to be kidding. This is sounding like a Monty Python skit. Multiple task forces. Anonymous public exchange of ideas - irrelevant bitch in. The sense of self importance is just oozing from Town Hall. All emanating from the Department of Redundancy Department. Followed up by Twit of the Year and the Parrot skit review.
Ok! Now everyone go back to work. Just don't sneeze on each other.
Even more important to those who never read the site conditions is the statement by the district that responses are anonymous. They aren’t if you read the site conditions. The company has all that information you used to sign up with.
the officials don't have the requisite chutzpah to face the pitchforks and explain why they are paying themselves to come up with this absolutely insulting crap couched in such soothing lingo. another example of nanny state politics dreamed up by morons for morons. way to go miss howdy doody and friends!
doesn't sound very anonymous when they state "there is a slight chance that you might be associated with a thought you provide that embarrasses you or leads to other negative consequences."

so ive deferred my mortgage for a few more months but i can't defer my car payment or my boat payment. i need my boat to make money with but it aint going to happen this year......not a good feeling..dread. used to have an air b&b to make ends meet. but not now. i don't have the time or the patience to go through the braindead survey designed to help me understand that im losing my livelihood and its not coming back. i already know that.
Let's make a list of Josie's friends and political supporters. Oh look!! It's the same list as the members of the task force. Sickening. Corrupt. Wrong.
This task force is pure politics. All for show. Just like this ridiculous survey. The comments are wildly unfocused, everything from climate change to parking. The thing has no meaning, or if you are a Dot councillor, it means whatever you want.
Oh, come on. The working group is made up of mostly volunteers representing various sectors in Tofino. There are only a couple individuals who are paid to be there. Don't you all want to get Tofino back up and running again? I sure do. Let's not be so hard on everyone who is just trying to help. We're all in this together. (although I do agree that some of the comments on the survey were WAY out in left field)
Task Force is pure Politics. They are all her supporters. They have no power or authority to do anything. Unless we are careful we might wind up with the minion Mayor far less qualified than our current one. Stop the insanity. Mayor of Ukee makes no such posturing moves to seek higher office. Time to tell the truth. All the Facts Please
To 9:35 "We're all in this together"? There you go again. You must be one of those salaried bureaucrats at Town Hall or a virtue signalling politician.

What a crock of shit
To make it equitable, shouldn’t there be some vulnerable people on the task force ?

the vulnerable on the task force are the mentally challenged perpetrators

The whole community is vulnerable. To the whims of this unhinged council
