Report to Community

As a not-for-profit society, we publish an annual report to the community sharing program highlights, challenges, achievements, and providing a brief financial update. We invite you to read our 2022 Report to Community by clicking the link below. Here’s an excerpt from our 2022 Report.

Here comes the sun! A statement that evokes thoughts of spring flowers, outdoor pursuits, warm summer breezes, and brighter days. With the first quarter of 2022 behind us, it also means the long-awaited lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the start of transitioning back to normal activities, including gathering with family and friends.

After two years that tested us all, we are more than ready to enter this next phase. Staff and volunteers at Gibsons Community Building Society are looking forward to locals and visitors alike, once again, participating in programs, attending events, and enjoying our public gathering space to its fullest.

As we celebrate our 5th Anniversary, we are launching new events and programs, booking much awaited celebrations, and bringing back our community-focused Night Markets! Our Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre team continues to inspire marine enthusiasts of all ages to actively care for the health of our ocean through visits to our collect-and-release aquarium, school programs, spring and summer camps, local conservation projects, and educational workshops and events. And Gibsons Public Market continues to welcome shoppers with the scent of fresh baked goods and coffee; the sight of colourful produce and zero-waste bulk food supplies; coolers of fresh and frozen sustainably sourced seafood; rows of specialty cheeses and charcuterie items; and delicious bistro offerings.

Looking back on the successes of 2021, we are humbled and amazed by the ongoing support of our incredible network of volunteers, donors, partners, and staff. We are not just a community building…we are building community and it’s truly spectacular!

THANK YOU ALL!

VICKI RAW, Executive Director

Meet our People

Our first contact with the Market was a tour offered by Georgy Good when the Market was nearing completion. We were impressed by the vision of the market as a community hub and a gathering place which could host a variety of activities.

I love seeing the regulars. The people who come in every week and enjoy a meal at Emelle’s and then head downstairs to pick up their groceries. It's nice to be that place where they can relax.

I quit my office job to live the dream and start a bakery. I never thought the best part of owning my own business would be the customers.

I love the energy and vibe of the Market and the quality of the merchants. The opportunity to finally start my own business and bring quality miso food to the community has been wonderful. I love working in such a vibrant place.

The three days our daughter spent at camp was the best three days of fun and education she has had in a while... I loved hearing the excitement in her voice.

It has been a fantastic experience having the Gibsons Public Market host our Black History Month annually. We are very grateful and recommend this great facility. Many, many thanks!
