By Nora O’Malley, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Ha-Shilth-Sa Tofino, B.C. – The Tla-o-qui-aht Development Corporation (TDC) was named Tofino’s top Green Business of the Year at the 2025 Business Excellence Awards gala hosted by the Tofino Chamber of Commerce. Established in 2001, TDC is wholly owned by the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation (TFN) and helps manage Tin Wis Resort, Tsawaak RV Resort & Campground, TFN Micro Hydro, and TFN Seafoods. “We literally just purchased over $30,000 worth of plants that will be going throughout the grounds,” said TDC Chief Executive Officer Nik Vischschraper. “Most of them are plants that are native to the region or have cultural significance. We have some ferns, salal, huckleberry, hemlock, dogwood… We are excited. Those will be coming into to Tin Wis and Tsawaak pretty soon,”
