RCAF Station Tofino (ADC ID: C-36) was a Second World War and Cold War, Royal Canadian Air Force, Radar station located in British Columbia. It was located 6NM southeast of Tofino, British Columbia, Canada.
The site was developed during the early days of World War II and was opened in 1943 as a RCAF "Radio Detachment". The radar at the base was used to protect the Pacific coast from enemy attack. Due to the site's remote location it was equipped with its own airfield. The base was protected by a RCAF Squadron. The site was decommissioned in 1945. In 1955 the station was reopened again as a radar station in the Pinetree Line. The site was under the control of NORAD. The radar station was closed on 10 January 1958 and is now operated as the Tofino Airport.
In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed as RCAF Aerodrome - Tofino, British Columbia at 49.0833°N -171°W with a variation of 24.5 degrees east and elevation of 65feet. The aerodrome was listed as "Under construction - Serviceable" with three runways as follows:[1]
