The Galiano Community Food Program works to build community and food security on our small island. We hold community potlucks, weekly Soup and Bread lunches and monthly Games Nights, plus organize Gleaning, Frozen Meals for Seniors, a Garlic Coop, Cheese Club, Workshops, School Garden Programs and much more.
Club Parks & Programs
The Galiano Club owns and maintains the South Community Hall, as well as over 830 acres of parkland on Galiano Island, British Columbia, Canada including Bluffs Park, Mount Galiano and the Community Forest. The Club runs the Community Food Program, is the home of the Galiano Players Theatre, hosts the Annual Blackberry Festival and Christmas Market. The Galiano Club was founded in 1924.
Community Hall
The Hall is a hub of the Galiano community and many of our local events are held there on an ongoing basis. It is also a favourite place for concerts, dances, weddings, plays, exhibitions, lectures, etc. The kitchen has convection ovens, industrial sinks, counters and cupboards and all manner of conveniences, and we’re quite proud of it.

Daystar Market — Adventures in the West Coast Whole Foods Movement – Conversations with Lony Rockafella – by Akasha Forest
In the summer of 1975, an experiment in alternative community living came to an end when Rawluk’s farm on Burrill Road was sold. Left behind were beautiful organic gardens, a woodworking shop, a main house and the small cabin-homes that had been restored by a group of young people with dreams of living simply and well, away from cities and rush hour. One of those young people now found himself reading tarot cards in a small mystical arts boutique on 4th avenue in Vancouver that summer. He also watched carefully as “The Community Produce” truck from Seattle unloaded cases of […]

Potato Planting at Sunshine Farm
We are planning a planting work party to complete our potato planting, for this year, at Galiano Sunshine Farm on Tuesday, July 3rd, all day. If the weather cooperates, this session will wrap up our planting; but if Monday is wet and delays land preparation, we may have to plant on Wednesday. Come and help us plant potatoes, tour our potato fields and have your potato questions answered. This is likely to be the last year that we plant our crop the old-fashioned way; we expect to have a new planter next year, so this may be your last chance […]
