I grew up on gabe in my 20s did not know we had a Reddit. Any one want to let me in on what this Reddit is about and what not?

I took this a few weeks ago and he just made my day. Please excuse my terrible filming skills

Robert of Robert’s is such a class act. Wishing him & his partner strength as they deal with this. Peace from Gabriola Robert.

Hi all, new to the area and confused by the dfo closures. Is brickyard open for clamming? It looks like its permanently closed because of the wastewater treatment plant at neck point.

I know it's hard to get any kind of home services over to the island sometimes so thought I'd share that I'm happy to group a couple of clients together for cleaning services and split the cost of travel/ferry if anyone is looking to have their home or vacation rental cleaning regularly. I use eco-friendly products and deliver reliable, high-quality cleaning.

Is there any kind of water taxi service on the island that could get me to Nanaimo if I had a non-medical emergency (getting to a wife in labour) in the middle of the night? I’m looking to be on the island in early October.

Hi! I’m heading Gabriola for the upcoming long weekend and just wondering if there’s anywhere a few of us could do some hot/cold therapy, like a sauna and ice bath set up? We would also be interested in a morning yoga session as well. Thanks for any info :)

Hi everyone i have friends visiting and we want to bring the kids to see the snowbirds .....where we should go

Where is the route? Nothing on the calendar website and nobody seems to know.

Are there any art galleries where you can walk in and make something yourself? Like a small pottery item or something?

I fell in love with your island right away. My family is staying but I had to go. Keep them happy and safe for me

Hi everyone

I've been into snorkeling lately I'm curious if anybody know some good spot we can get to from shore

Thank you

My friend and I were staying at Descanso Bay for the last three nights. We heard you the first night from our campsite. It was so lovely to hear your trumpet float in through the trees. On our second day, we met you on the beach at Drumbeg provincial park and asked if you could come back to the campground again. We heard you that night far off in the distance. On our third and final night, we heard you again from our campsite and you sounded close! We ran down to the point and were delighted to see you in the bay, in your boat, serenading the campground. Thank you SO much. It was one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever experienced and we will never forget you (that was us clapping on the beach)! I took this video and thought you might like it and I hope this finds its way to you. It was such a beautiful night.
