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.

Tahsis Days was a highlight of July, with many entries in the parade with this year's circus-themed event. It was great to see so many local musicians playing later that afternoon, with performances ranging from acoustic to electronic, with some unique audience participation at the end. Everybody had a great time. I was sorry to hear of the passing of Cameron Reed earlier today. He has been a long time resident of our community and employee of Westview Marina. I have known him and his family since my first visits to Tahsis over 40 years ago. On behalf of the Village, I extend condolences to his friends and family. He will be missed.
