Travel Guide
Joanna Streetly lives in a floathouse in Tofino and she evokes her surroundings beautifully you will think you are right beside her. The issues of a small town, a small town community made up of two very different races and histories and this is a dip in the ocean to delve a little deeper and to observe this for yourself.
The setting – on this floathouse we read much about is reflected in the smooth, writing and since she was apparently married to a canoe carver from the Tia-o-qui-aht community then she knows better than some the issues between communities and the fascination to find out about a new one.
