At the Galiano Conservancy, we cherish the power of community and the sense of belonging that comes from shared values and a common purpose. Whether you join us to give back, support the next generation, or because you believe in our mission, your membership is incredibly important to us.

When you become a member of the GCA, you become part of our family. We treasure every one of you, and we love seeing the familiar faces of our friends, neighbours, community members and island visitors. Whether you visit us at the Millard Learning Centre, chat with us at the Saturday Market, or attend one of our events, you are always welcome!

We are dedicated to keeping you informed about how we use your membership fees and donations. We regularly share our work through monthly newsletters, updates on Facebook and Instagram, and blog posts on our website. Each year, we proudly highlight our achievements and future plans in our Annual Report, Stewardship News, Activity Reports, and press releases.
