About 150 concerned residents and tourists gather outside the Tofino Council Chambers office in downtown Tofino, B.C. prior to a town council meeting about their community's water shortage issues Thursday, Aug.31, 2006. Only 33 people were admitted into the chamber meeting due to lack of space. It was only a matter of time before the growing Vancouver Island community, with its high-end resorts, trendy bistros and new subdivisions, would tap the water reservoir dry, they said Thursday, a day before the community shuts off municipal water to businesses.
