| | Although a little out of focus this incredible image was taken by one of our guests when they were out on a whale watching tour. While on the tour a pod of orcas attacked a couple sea lions. It is hard to believe that a 200+lb. sea lion can be tossed that high by an orca.
Unfortunately this sea lion didn't survive the attack, however, his companion was able to hide behind another whale watching zodiac
(see him between the boat and the engine) and save himself from a similar fate.
Nature can be so fascinating yet cruel at the same time.
Thanks to Norm and Linda from Alberta for allowing us to share this amazing experience.

Celebrating 10 Years as Owners of A Snug Harbour Inn
In July of this year we are celebrating the start of the 10th year as owners of A Snug Harbour Inn. In 2000 we came to the Inn as guests, not knowing that a few months later we would make the decision to purchase the Inn. We moved from our old home in downtown Toronto to this amazing property on the edge of a cliff overlooking the rugged Pacific coastline. The experience over the past years has been more that we could have ever imagined and we have thousands of delightful guests that we have hosted to thank for that.
We have decided to celebrate our 10th year with special, lower 'Retro Rates'. These are the same room rates that were in effect the day that we took possession of the Inn more than 9 years ago!
It is hard to believe that 9 years have passed so quickly and we hope that our former guests and new visitors will take advantage of the special pricing and come to our Inn for a visit. These prices will be in effect for the entire year so the savings become even more spectacular when combined with our Winter Storm Watching promotion. Combine our 'Retro Rates' with storm watching savings of up to $100 on your stay and you can experience this very special place at a price equally as special.
Sue, Drew and Porsche (the friendliest German Shepard you will ever meet) hope that you will plan a trip to the Inn in the near future and celebrate with us this milestone year. Thanks to all of our former and future guests for allowing us to fulfill our dream.

New Community Centre Now Open
Earlier this year the much anticipated opening of the $10 million dollar Ucluelet Community Centre took place. Before approximately 100 invited guests and dignitaries from Ucluelet Council, Ucluelet First Nations and both regional and provincial government officials the Centre was officially opened. On Saturday and Sunday there was a host of free public activities that showcased all of the facilities. With a theater, library, day care centre, meeting rooms, court room, and specially equipped fitness rooms the Centre will become the hub of the community for now and generations to follow. Located only a few minute walk from the Inn our guests will have easy access to many of the planned events.
