TOFINO SHOREBIRD FESTIVAL 2012
MAY 4 - 6 The protected forests, expansive mudflats, long sandy beaches, and rocky shorelines of this area create the right combination of habitats to draw over 40 species of shorebirds to the area, including the largest migratory concentrations of Whimbrels anywhere in BC and impressive flocks of Western Sandpipers, Dunlin, and more. The threatened Red Knot is also a regular visitor each spring, as well as Rock Sandpiper in winter. In 2010, local bird expert Adrian Dorst listed at least 30 species of shorebirds. Come out to the Tofino Shorebird Festival and marvel at these birds, learn more about them, and learn why Tofino is one of the very best places in western Canada for bird watching.

TOFINO FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL 2012
JUNE 1 - 3 An eclectic community makes for a delicious combination of people and flavours on this lauded June weekend, with a series of events designed to tickle all palates. The Tofino Food and Wine Festival also hosts a Silent Auction Fundraiser at the main event, specifically for the Tofino Community Children’s Centre, an invaluable service for local families providing much needed child care and healthy structure for our children. The centre, operated under the umbrella of Tofino Parks & Recreation, provides an enriched program for children attending the centre. We hope that the Tofino Food and Wine Festival will encourage foodies from all over to develop an interested and caring attitude towards eating locally with increased awareness on sustainable food sources.
