Tofino Harbour Authority closed due to standoff with 'squatter,'

[Nekton73]

Anyone living in the area, or using the harbour, know anything more about the story behind this?

This reminds me of a squatter I regularly used to see on a public pontoon near me. He would get kicked off the pontoon and a few hours later be back. He really ramped up the piss taking by undertaking a refit while tied up. To be fair he had all the plywood and rubbish neatly stacked. But people were trying to fish or tie up and he was acting like he owned it. I have no idea how the issue was resolved. But the harbour authority must have gotten sick of the complaints.

The harbour authority is hiring contractors to install aluminum security gates and electronic fobs for mariners, James Mason, vice-president of the harbour authority board, said Tuesday.


Gates will be open during the day but locked in evenings to reduce theft and vandalism, he said. Work is set to begin today.

There must be more to the story as the office is at 4th Street, a fair ways from the sketchier Armitage/Crab dock.
