Tahsis is a remote village on the west coast of Vancouver Island. With only 400 residents, we don't have many of the conveniences of larger towns but we do have community spirit and lots to do in our spectacularly wild and beautiful environment.

CMESS Staff say Goodbye to Glyn and Family
The Staff and PAC of CMESS had a going away dinner at Westview Marina for Principal Glyn Howell and his family (me and the kids!) It was great food, and a very bittersweet time, because although we are excited to carry on for our next adventure, the people at the school have made this community a very special home for us for the past 9 years.

Food Security Visit
On Sunday, 5 people came to Tahsis to visit and tour our town, to see how Tahsis works to improve food security in our remote location.
Representatives from the Strathcona Food Security Project, and Greenways Land Trust enjoyed checking out the Local, our self serve farmers market stand, the busy Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School Kitchen, Tahsis Farm, the exciting new future brewery and artists retreat endeavor up past West Bay, and our flourishing Tahsis Community Garden. A nice lunch by the water at Westview Marina was appreciated by all.
Tahsis has a lot to be proud of!
