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.

Bring your voter registration card
Many of you will get a card looking like this in the mail. I am working as the information officer at the election on October 21. It makes things so easy if you bring this card and a piece of ID with you. If you have no card, I need to see two pieces of ID. Even if I have known you for years and years.
Dentist suggestions
Some of the dental problems found by the visiting crew this weekend were too difficult to deal with here. Heather from Share a Smile put together this list (in no particular order) of dentists in Campbell River.
