From the Galiano Club during the coronavirus pandemic:

The parklands we manage — the Bluffs, Mt Galiano, the Community Forest — remain open. Fresh air and exercise are essential elements in maintaining good physical and mental health; this is most especially vital just now. So, we want our hiking trails, our parks, to be kept available for our neighbours to use. But, while using the trails and the vehicle parking areas it is most important to remember the current pandemic situation, the precautions outlined by our local health experts — most especially the social distancing. And, to wash your hands well before & after each hike/walk.

The staff at the Galiano Health Care Centre and those with the Galiano Emergency Program all agree with this decision by the Galiano Club Board. But, they caution that the board may need to revisit this decision as needed.
