Building Community Connections
About Us
We're a family passionate about building and using tools that bring communities together. Gabriola Connects was born from our love for this island and our desire to help neighbors stay connected, informed, and engaged.
Whether it's checking ferry times, finding local services, or staying updated on community events, we believe technology should make island life easier and more connected.
Why We Built Gabriola Connects
- 🏝️To create a central hub for all island information
- 🤝To help neighbors connect and support each other
- ⛴️To make ferry schedules and alerts easily accessible
- 💚To strengthen our island community through technology
🗺️ Gabriola Connects Roadmap
Built by and for Gabriolans, Gabriola Connects is your island hub for events, discussions, local businesses, ferry updates, and community alerts. Here's what's live and what's coming next. Your feedback drives everything—tell us what you need!
We're listening! 👂
What features matter most to YOU? Join the conversation on our Bulletin Board and help shape Gabriola Connects. This is YOUR community hub—let's build it together!
Our vision: If we're successful here, other Gulf Islands may start their own community hubs—imagine Mayne Connects, Pender Connects, Salt Spring Connects! Together, we can strengthen island communities across the Salish Sea. 🏝️⛴️🏝️
