Beach Quest : Discovering Gabriola's Marine Life

Explore 5 of the beaches on Gabriola with STU, a Black Oystercatcher, who leads us through this beautifully illustrated book produced by the Gabriola Historical & Museum Society.  This compact book is full of information, tips and gives interesting ideas for turning your walk into a treasure hunt for local marine life.  You'll enjoy the detailed maps of Taylor Bay, Descanso Bay, Brickyard Beach, Silva Bay and Drumbeg in this book, indicating where to find the marine life when you get to the beach.  If you'd like to purchase one of these local books, you'll find them at the Gabriola Museum for $15.
We'd also like to thank the volunteers that created this stunning book: Carroll Hodge, April Vannini, Edith Krauss, Devon Featherstone, Nancy Boyes, Jeffrey James, Ken Cripps, Sandie Hankewich, Lindsay Richards, Charleen Wells, Bill Cornish & Cec Ashley.

BONUS!  We've just added a copy to our little Lynch library on the Gabriola Ferry hill today (Aug.20 2014)

Gabriola Historical & Museum Society - The Shale

If you love to know bits of history, you may really enjoy reading a copy of the Gabriola Historical & Museum's society's "Shale". I had a dear friend drop off a copy for me at work today as she knows I'm working on a project that focusses on the history of Gabriola. A few weeks ago I attended the "Shale evening" at the Roxy, it was an interesting night that gave me more knowledge about the Island's History, I particularly liked hearing about the start of the Ambulance Society.
If you' like to be a member, please email the museum at info@gabriolamuseum.org, if you'd like a copy of the Shale, you can purchase one at Artworks or order one through the museum, inquiries can be made to shale@gabriolamuseum.org. If you'd like to attend the AGM it will be held on Tuesday, Feb 16, Women's Institute Hall starting at 7pm.
If you have any old photos of Gabriola, I'd love to see them, please an email to lynch@discovergabriola.com if you do.
