Damage was limited to a small portion of the church. “This church has been in Tofino for over 100 years and is of significant historical importance to the community,” said Sgt. Chris Manseau, RCMP spokesman. “Investigators are aware of the recent church fires occurring around the province, and will share information with them to determine if there is a link, however at this time there is nothing indicating so.” Several churches have recently been vandalized or damaged in fires following the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential school sites in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. This week a historic Catholic church in Alberta was destroyed by fire and a Catholic church at a First Nation in Nova Scotia was damaged by flames.
