THIS PROJECT IS NOW COMPLETE


The District of Tofino is replacing the aging wooden stairs that connect the Tonquin Trail to Tonquin Beach near the Tofino Community Hall and Peterson Drive access points.

The existing wooden components have deteriorated and are beginning to rot. Replacing them will help maintain safe and reliable access for trail users.

What Work Will Be Completed?

The project will include:

  • Removal of the existing wooden stair components
  • Construction of new stairs using yellow cedar
  • Reuse of the existing concrete base structures
  • Installation within the existing stair footprint

The project will not change the design, size or location of the stairs. No trees will be removed as part of the work.

Project Funding

The project has a total budget of $22,200 and is fully funded through the District’s participation in the Province of British Columbia's Resort Municipality Initiative(External link) program.

    The Tonquin Trail stair replacement is now complete, with brand-new yellow cedar stairs open and ready for use.

    The project replaced aging wooden stairs with durable yellow cedar while retaining the existing concrete foundations. The new structure follows the same footprint and design as the previous stairs, and the work was completed without removing any trees.

    With construction now finished, the stairs and surrounding trail connections have fully reopened to the public.
