Everything about Ucluelet British Columbia totally explained
Ucluelet (pronounced /juˈkluːlət/) is a community (population about 1,500) on the west coast of
Vancouver Island in
British Columbia,
Canada.
Ucluelet means "safe harbour" in the indigenous
Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) language.
Demographics
Both Tofino and Ucluelet have become target sites for the construction of retirement resorts in the past 10 years, although the local population has been historically fishing and logging-based . Very important in local society is the presence of the
Yu-cluth-aht people ("people with a safe landing place" in
Nuu-chah-nulth, whose government is the
Ucluelet First Nation. Their community is based at
Hit-at-soo (Ucluelet Indian Reserve), which is located about ten minutes from the town of Ucluelet.
Geography
It is located at the northern edge of
Barkley Sound between two sections of
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve: the
Broken Group Islands and Long Beach.
Like its neighbour
Tofino, Ucluelet is making the transition from a resource-based economy to a tourism-based economy.
Festivals and Events
Every March, the Pacific Rim Whale Festival
(External Link
) is a week of celebratory events hosted by Ucluelet, Tofino, and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
Broadcasting
It is possible that in the near future that the town may become a center for high power
international broadcasting -- due to its remoteness (an important issue considering the RFI produced by shortwave transmission sites) and easy access to a reasonably reliable power grid.
