Welcome to Tourism Tofino’s water conservation and education website. We hope you will join us in our effort to conserve the pure, fresh water that is one of Tofino’s greatest natural resources.
This site seeks to inform and educate our area’s residents and visitors about why water conservation is so important. We hope you will return to this site often to learn, participate and celebrate water conversation for the sake of our planet.
'Every day, most of us turn on the tap and take it for granted that an endless supply of clean, safe drinking water will flow out. Yet Canada’s freshwater resources aren’t nearly as abundant as you’d think. In fact, our belief in unlimited water is a dangerous myth.'
