response and recovery and I’ll bring every ounce of passion and energy I have for local government to serve British Columbia.

Caught a glimpse of this through the trees, and had to take my coffee down to the shoreline to drink it in. The lands nestled in that ribbon of light are called haa’ukmin (aka the Kennedy Lake watershed), part of the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Park.

At the risk of over-doing it with the Tofino sunset photos, I just have to say that the sun itself really over-did it tonight... and just we really needed it.

British Columbians know that when our neighbours need help, we show up - whether that's in our own communities, or across provincial borders. I'm proud we were able to support Alberta last night w/~200MW of power, during a time that was also a record demand of electricity in BC.

As we walked out on to the beach to watch the sun set, my friend said “I can feel it - this will be the best sunset this summer.” He may well be right.

Sometimes you just want to get home, and every minute of driving seems to count. That’s exactly when you should stop, and just drink it all in. This is haa’ukmin - aka Kennedy Lake, the heart of the magnificent Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks.
