Strong Financial Growth Means More Back to Members

In the 2024 fiscal year, we achieved sales of $29,826,541, reflecting an increase of $1,001,599 over 2023’s sales of $28,824,942. As a result, we’re pleased to allocate $940,867 back to our members, which represents 5% of gross sales — $41,037 more than last year. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to another year of growth together.

Infrastructure Investments for Our Community's Future

All electric charging stations are now fully operational, ensuring a reliable revenue stream, and their installation came at no cost to our members. The generator has been ordered and is currently being built, with delivery expected later this year. Behind-the-scenes preparations are already underway in anticipation of its arrival. While we’ve encountered a few minor setbacks with the Gasbar upgrade, we remain committed to this project and continue to prioritize its completion.

$80,000 in Community Support: Making Tofino Stronger Together

In 2024, the board made the unanimous decision to increase our donation amount by $20,000, bringing our total charitable contributions to $80,000. This generous support benefited local charities, clubs, and community groups. We also helped raise over $15,000 for the USS Library, donated $10,000 to Tofino General Hospital (plus an additional $1,140 raised through our Fuel Day program), and contributed $10,000 to the Clayoquot Community Theatre. Additionally, we provided scholarships to local graduates, sponsored children to attend summer camps, and donated numerous gift cards for fundraisers, inclusion initiatives, and other community causes. Notably, we contributed $4,000 to the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, $3,000 to WildSafe BC, and $5,000 to the Raincoast Education Society.

Thank you for your support this past year and for your continued support moving forward.
