One of the things that makes Gabriola Island a special place is the provision in our bylaws for cottage industry on all residential properties – this allows for a broad range of home occupations (for official list see Gabriola Land Use Bylaws under links in the side menu to the left on this page); it has allowed the art community to flourish, enriches our lives, encourages entrepreneurship, and is good for the local economy and the environment. As a long time Gabriola family we embrace our island culture; for give & for get allows us to express our creative side – see our fashion boutique at forgiveandforgetboutique.wordpress.com .
