Tahsis Living
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.

Mayor’s report for July 7, 2026
I am happy to announce that the Grease Trail to Woss Lake is open for hikers, although the official opening has not been announced yet by the Mowachaht Muchalat First Nation. This trail was long used by the MMFN and the Namgis First Nation as a trade route across Vancouver Island, terminating at the mouth of the Nimpkish River south of Port McNeil. The hiking trail portion is about 16 kilometres long, with an elevation change of 550 metres and terminates at Woss Lake, with the remainder being a lake and river traverse. It is accessed from Tahsis by taking the side road by the Tahsis Landfill gate, to a parking lot. There are composting toilets at each end, with camping at Woss Lake. It features old growth forests, waterfalls, faces carved into trees by First Nations over centuries, and a glacial river entering Woss Lake. The view of Rugged Mountain from the lake is truly spectacular.
We had an excellent turnout for Canada Day, held at the new visitor centre and museum. The building renovations are now complete and the visitor centre is open for the summer. Renovation costs were about $500,000 and were funded by the provincial government. The museum portion will gradually be repopulated with displays and fully reopened by next year. It will be divided into four themes: natural history, First Nation history, European contact and mill history up to the present. Since my last report, the boat launch ramp has been reopened. Further modifications including installation of the launch float and washroom build and are still pending.
