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.

The Local is open.
The bear watchers have told me it looks lke the bears have turned in for the winter. The Local stand by the post office is now open. Since there is no mail delivery those putting in items for sale should post here to alert buyers. If anyone wants to be a vendor contact me (Olson.stephanie2009@ gmail.com) and I’ll explain the procedure

Blog birthday
On December 4, 2014, Karli Y. started this blog. She did a beautiful post on Christmas preparations at St. Joseph’s church. (Reposted below.) When she moved away in 2017, I, Stephanie O. decided it was worth continuing. We’re nearing a half million views and 3000 posts. Thanks Karli for such a good idea. Hope others find it useful.
St. Joseph Catholic Church getting ready for Christmas Eve
Battista was there carefully setting up his lovely creche that he built and has embellished every year. It is arranged on a bed of natural moss.
St. Joseph's Church is holding mass on Christmas Eve at 5 pm, followed by a potluck supper at 6 pm, then the Tahsis Twang Gang will be there at 7:30 pm to provide some Christmas music. Everyone can join in the carolling, and enjoy some sweets and coffee afterwards.
