Food Program
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.

Galiano Club Update, April 2021
Making it through a pandemic winter is no small feat. Hope seems more tangible now, as the earth fills in with colour and warmth, and we hear optimistic news of vaccines and re-opening plans. Recent health regulations have relaxed to allow groups of 10 to gather outdoors, and the trails and parks in the Heritage Forest, Mt Galiano and the Bluffs are great places to gather in small groups and experience the beauty of spring on the island.
This spring also marks a year since the beginning of the pandemic, and it has been a difficult year […]

Galiano Club Update, March 2021
By Jack Garton
Sitting in the kitchen, watching icicles drip off the roof: as if we needed another reason to stay inside at home. Ok, going outside in the snow can be fun.

It always seems a bit unfair, though, when a cold snap comes after spring has already been promised. […]

Residents gathered to share perogy stories, songs, and traditional recipes, and then shared in a feast. It was an immersive experience in Ukrainian culture and cuisine. We pinched, cooked and ate together as our workshop presenters shared stories and songs from this rich traditional culture.

The experience, skill and attention brought to the table in service to Galiano is humbling.
Our community has been rocked this year by the many […]
The Galiano Club Logo
In the early 1980s, islander & artist, Keith Holmes, completed a series of ink drawings of old Galiano buildings which included the 1920’s-era Galiano Community Hall owned & managed by the Galiano Club. The Hall drawing, shown above, included a 1937 Chevy truck owned by Bruce Pearson.
All of the drawings were put up for sale except the Hall one with Keith keeping it for possible future use of the Club. In the 1990s, while serving as a Club […]
