Poole’s Land in Tofino, B.C. has been known as many things over the last 30 years (“ecovillage” and “hippie commune” to being with), but today the 17.5-acre property of Michael Poole is just another piece land that is “up-for-sale” in the development/housing market. This innovative collective was a home and a haven for many of those who had slipped out of the typical, societal “norms” and had come to choose a different way.
