What We Do

OUR MISSION: To provide accessible recreational programming and facilities for all members of our community.

 

Our Story

In October 1981, the Galiano Activity Centre Society constitution was signed, in part, “..to promote educational, cultural, recreational, social, and other community oriented activities” and to “promote the construction and equipping of facilities suitable” for said activities. With thousands of community volunteer hours, and in partnership with School District 64, a kitchen, gymnasium and meeting room were built at the Galiano Community School. For the past 3 decades, GACS has continued to fulfill its mandate, adding the Fitness Centre in 2001, Playgroup in 2016 and the Galiano Community Daycare in 2017.

 

“The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.”

— Proverb
