Autumn on Gabriola

Gabriola is experiencing beautiful fall weather, still quite warm and dry. The local farmers have ample produce in their gardens and will continue to sell this abundance at the Saturday Farmers’ market, the market at the Commons on Wednesday, and at the farm gate stalls. The new shops that opened this summer are doing well and offer greater variety to all that call this lovely island home. The beaches and parks are wonderful places to walk and enjoy the fall colours. There is a new playground to be installed in November in the Rollo McClay Park next to the ball fields.
