2024 Gabriola Health
and Wellbeing Report
We are thrilled to finally release the 2024 Gabriola Health and Wellbeing Report. At 47 pages, the report contains data on most everything that influences the health and wellbeing of Gabriolans, including over 120 data points and illustrations. The report draws on the 2021 Canadian Census of Population, Community Health Service Area data, and data shared by local Gabriola organizations. And for the first time, the report tracks changes in the data over time. Read the report online or order a print copy from Gallery Press.
Our 50+ members represent health and social services, emergency services, environment, arts and culture, economy, food security, housing, public amenities, sports and recreation, religious and spiritual groups, civil society, and local government …all collaborating to build a thriving Gabriola.
Community engagement with Islands Trust, GaLTT, GIMS, and others.
Youth supporting food security programs with People for a Healthy Community.
We meet monthly to identify pressing issues facing our community, find ways of working together to address them, and share information about our organizations’ activities.
