The Tofino Legion may be facing some big changes in the next little while. It's use for concerts and other similar events is being challenged based on it's special license and how that license is being applied. Here's a quote from Adam Buskard who promotes most of the great events that have gone down at the Legion in the past 10 years.
"Hi everyone, please get involved in this. The liquour control board is trying to shut down the legion as our gathering location for live shows in Tofino. If we all get involved and become members of the legion then there is nothing they can do.
If we dont succeed in doing this then the legion will be closed as a venue. We have all had amazing nights there and seen amazing bands. We will have special privileges for members such as ticket hold backs on sold out shows for members only.
The legion is an integral part of our community and it would be sad for us to lose it for such events. The legion has also been there for us in our times of need to pay tribute to those in our community that we have lost. Get involved, tell your friends. Please like this, repost this, or whatever you can to help spread the word."

There is also a dialog going about the situation on Ralph's Blog HERE
Here's hoping something can be made to work or a new venue can be found.
Thanks for listening to Long Beach Radio.
It would be a shame. There are such limited venues for entertainment on the coast.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Adam for creating this possibility and running it for 10 years.
I no longer live in the area but will spread the word.
That would be a shame. Coastal communities thrive because venues like this exist!
