We, the people of Gabriola, will eagerly and warmly welcome you to our community.

Gabriola Island is home to about 4,500 people. So, who are we?

Artsy to the max

Called “The Isle of the Arts,” our community is alive with painters, sculptors, musicians, performance artists, writers and more. We host a large annual regional art festival showcasing local creativity. From world-famous artists to children’s art projects, there’s always something happening. And, music! It’s everywhere.

We got it

We have a bustling business community: resorts to home-based businesses, grocery stores, restaurants, hardware to housewares. On top of that, numerous artisans produce truly unique local goods and services. The few things not here are a 20-minute ferry ride to Nanaimo or seaplane to Vancouver!

Kids are covered

We have an excellent elementary school, two pre-schools and a daycare, and many organized recreational and educational activities for children from toddlers to teens. High school and university students take the school bus and ferry to Nanaimo. Students can attend one of four high schools, while university students attend Vancouver Island University.

Green thumbs rule

A leading hub of cooperative organic gardening, we have a diversity of farms and a cornucopia of vegetables, fruit and fresh goodness to feed us. Not to mention locally made pies, bread, prepared dinners, condiments and more. Be warned, almost everyone on the island will want to give you zucchini in the fall!

The Gabriola Health Care Foundation respectfully acknowledges and recognizes the Coast Salish Nations whose territory we live and work on. In particular, we acknowledge and recognize Gabriola Island as the unceded territory of Snuneymuxw First Nation (SFN). We respect the longstanding relationships that Coast Salish and Hul’qumi’num speaking Nations have to this land, as they are the original caretakers. We acknowledge that the Snuneymuxw Treaty of 1854 (Douglas Treaties) was signed with the British Crown and colonial governments and asserts SFN treaty rights and title. We acknowledge and recognize that SFN rights and title is affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.
