In 2019, Bryan Maurer from Langley entered the Shelter Point Mixology contest, hosted by Black Press Media (which publishes the West Coast Traveller) and sponsored by Shelter Point. Three years and one pandemic later, he finally redeemed his grand prize — a 3-day Vancouver Island getaway featuring a helicopter excursion with @49northhelicopters , a tour of the award-winning @shelterpoint , a whale watching tour with @campbellriverwhalewatching , a stay at @oldhousehotelbc , dinner at @locals_comoxvalley and a spa experience at @ohspacourtenay .
.
“Thanks again so so much to BPM and Shelter Point for everything! It was truly an amazing trip if a lifetime that we will all be talking about and cherishing for the rest of our lives. 💙” Bryan says.

Looks like it was worth the wait!

In 1945 a Canso bomber took off from a Second World War airfield recently established near Tofino, BC. Shortly after take-off the plane malfunctioned, but pilot Ron Scholes managed a crash landing soft enough that all 12 crew members survived. Now the wreckage makes for a neat hiking destination inside Pacific Rim National Park.
