Friends of Clayoquot Sound are partnering with Surfrider Pacific Rim for Hands Across the Sand, a global event that brings together individuals and organizations to promote a clean energy future across the world; ending our dependence on fossil fuels. Through this event, thousands of people across the planet come together to draw a line across the sand against fossil fuels that threaten our future.
Our event is taking place on May long weekend on Clayoquot Island, the only weekend of the year that this magical island is open to the public! Boat transportation will be available all day from The Shore dock, downtown Tofino. A special addition is also being added to the event to create an even greater positive impact, stay tuned.
