SUMMER 2026 EVENT

2026 Musical Walkalong Wrap-Up

On Sunday, August 23, 2026, the Galiano Conservancy Association welcomed the community back to the Millard Learning Centre for another unforgettable Musical Walkalong, an afternoon celebrating the connection between nature, music, art, and community.

Set among the forest, wetland trails, and the shoreline of the Millard Learning Centre, visitors of all ages were invited to experience live performances in one of Galiano Island’s most unique landscapes. Rather than gathering in a traditional concert venue, folks explored a scenic trail where musicians and artists transformed the natural environment into a series of intimate performance spaces.

VOLUNTARY LAND STEWARDSHIP

Nature Stewards Program

The Galiano Conservancy Association offers free stewardship consultations for all interested owners and residents/renters of Galiano properties, and additional resources and guidance for those interested in making a non-binding pledge to be a Nature Steward. This voluntary program is for Galiano Island residents/renters and landowners who want to care for native ecosystems on the land they steward with support from GCA staff.
