Tofino Surfrider Foundation shut out of Cold Water Classic !!

According to Paul Jarvis,president of the Pacific Rim Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, O'Neill has told the organization that they are not welcome to set up an information tent at the site of this year's Cold Water Classic.The reason given was permitting issues.....a call to the District of Tofino revealed that no permit has been issued as of this posting.....
O'Neill Canada has however said that it would allow Surfrider members to help with parking cars.....
In contrast to O'Neill's position...Rip Curl welcomed Surfrider at their Rip Curl Stew contest that was held in the same area and subject to the same permit process.

September 10,2010 Bike Park etc....

Good morning, I'll try to get comment from the District of Tofino on the bike park issue today....
received an interesting comment on the electric truck...pure greenwashing as some of the District garbage cans require a backhoe and a truck simply to change a garbage bag !
Another reader asked about the status of the First St. dock...as far as I know the dock is owned or operated by the District of Tofino....the taxpayer is responsible for the upkeep of the dock....
Other readers who live in the Lone Cone subdivision {Heubner Heights) called in to ask what is going on with the Community Garden/Community Park controversy.....??? If anyone has an update please write in....
