Heavy rain poured down on Tofino Friday afternoon, drenching a hearty crew of volunteers who hit the soaking wet streets to clean up discarded cigarette butts. The event was hosted by the Surfrider Foundation's Pacific Rim Chapter, which had invited all Tofino's mayor and council candidates in Oct. 20's municipal election and eight of the 15 candidates running attended including mayoral candidates Jarmo Venalainen and incumbent mayor Josie Osborne as well as councillor candidates Britt Chalmers, Andrea McQuade, Tom Stere, Stephanie Kathleen Hughes, Christ Heisterman and incumbent councillor Al Anderson.
