Travel news: P.E.C.’s emerging arts and culture hub, Vancouver Island’s national park trail, Quebec vineyards

Character path

There’s a new way to travel Vancouver Island’s Pacific Rim Countrywide Park Reserve: along a 25-kilometre multi-use pathway referred to as ʔapsčiik t̓ašii (pronounced “ups-cheek ta-shee”), which operates by way of the Lengthy Beach Unit, a area in between Tofino and Ucluelet. Paved and largely flat, the leisure route winds through forested sections and is viewed as a neighborhood-connecting artery for the location. The trail is in the traditional territories and homelands of the Tla-o-qui-aht Initial Country and Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ, and its title has two meanings: “going the proper way on the path” and “make absolutely sure you talk the truth of the matter.”
