On Monday, Aug. 7, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations kicked off TFN Days with their annual parade through Tofino. Visitors and locals had a blast watching the floats pass by the Village Green. Speeches and a community barbeque were held afterwards.

This year’s vision and theme is “Family Wellness and Culture” and the festival’s week-long program includes traditional games and cultural activities.
