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.

ATM may go
The owners of the ATM at the Tahsis Supermarket are considering taking the machine away. For now, the supermarket has convinced them to let it stay. If you value this service in Tahsis and use it when you need it, you might choose to use it more often so the owners think it is worth leaving here.

Cougar Annie
This is a show not to be missed. It is the story of the life of Cougar Annie, a pioneer woman who lived at Hesquiat Harbour in the early 1900s. A woman who tended to the basics but also established a fantastic garden. It is a one woman show done as a musical. The second half of the evening is a musical duo. Tickets for this show usually cost $25 but this performance is sponsored by the Tahsis Literacy Society and is free.
