Another year, another picnic, another round of rowdy zucchini races wrapped up 😁

🍎 If you used the apple press, this is a friendly reminder that it is operated on a by donation basis. If you are able to contribute and haven't done so yet, you can send an e-transfer to [email protected]. 🙏

If you lost a switchblade knife during the picnic, please come collect it at Soup and Bread.

Most important of all: a round of thanks!! 🥰
Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers that helped make our community picnic such a success. A big shout out to Afterglow, for providing lovely, lively musical vibes during the picnic and to Lorelei Christine's tunes for the races.
Thank you also to the Activity Center, the Lion's, SLOG, the Emergency program, The Galiano Club, North Galiano Community Association, GALI, and the Fire Department for their help!

It's still gleaning season and we are at peak apple picking time! If you need more apples for eating, dehydrating and freezing - sign up for our gleaning list by emailing us at [email protected] with "gleaning" in the subject line. Now is especially a great time to get out there as our apple press will be available at the community picnic (this Sunday!!). Turn your apple glut into apple juice 🍎
