Race for the Blue was to be held Sept. 10 to Sept. 17 at the resort, but the bar is closed until Sunday and the pub cancelled its concert series for the event

The Tofino Resort and Marina has cancelled its annual tuna derby after hearing of “highly inappropriate behavior” connected to the event.

Race for the Blue was to be held Sept. 10 to Sept. 17 at the resort, which is co-owned by former NHL players Willie Mitchell and Dan Hamhuis, and Mill Bay businessman Andrew Purdey. Purdey, who founded Prince George-based Ruskin Construction in 1989, has expanded to include infrastructure projects around B.C., Alberta and the Yukon.

The Instagram account of Tofino Resort and Marina’s 1909 Kitchen + Bar restaurant said it was temporarily closed until Sunday. The Hatch Waterfront pub cancelled its Race for the Blue concert series.
