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.

A Visiting Colony
We have some loud guests occupying the docks and breakwaters down by Westview Marina and the Lodge at Tahsis Harbour... sea lions! For 2 days now, they have been causing a ruckus with their constant barking, and posing for photographs.

From Canadian Geographic: Groups of sea lions have many names depending on where they are: on land they are a colony, in water they are called a raft, during breeding seasons they're referred to as a rookery and when several females are in one male's territory, they're called a harem.
