Galiano Island has been heralded as the "gem of the Gulf Islands." Nestled between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, B.C., this stunning destination is no longer a best kept secret: More people are discovering Galiano for its beautiful grey sand beaches, birds, wildlife and rich cultural activities.
Dionisio Galiano discovered the Island in 1792, when it was already a major landing point for aboriginal life. Now, two centuries later, Galiano is home to over 1,200 people. The Island’s unique history is treasured in its galleries, museums and provincial parks.

Galiano locals love to read. So when Lee Trentadue and Jim Schmidt set up a local independent bookstore in 1997, it quickly became popular.
