Bereik en inhoud

The series contains a range of photographs of Tofino and the surrounding area, including Tofino wharf, people fishing and landscapes.
Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation of the Nuu—chah-nulth people, south of Clayoquot Sound. Settlers came to the site and the surrounding around starting in the 1890s. Officially named Tofino with the opening of a post office in 1909, although its first store was opened in 1901, a school in 1906 and a wharf and lifeboat station in 1908 and its church in 1913. Tofino was incorporated as a municipality in 1932. Tofino developed around the fishing and logging industries, now known for its natural beauty and a great destination for outdoor recreation.
Many fishermen of Japanese descent began to settle in the area in 1923, and in 1942 the federal government ordered that all Japanese Canadians were to be expulsed from the west coast with their belongings, such as their boats, were confiscated.
