The Gabriola Recreation Society was established in February 2002. The Society administers a variety of recreation services and programs to the residents of Gabriola Island through an agreement with the Regional District of Nanaimo.  The Society operates as a non-profit organization with some local autonomy and authority through the Societies Act to administer the services on behalf of the Regional District.

The Society is composed of nine directors. They are elected by members of the Society at its Annual General Meeting. Announcements regarding the next Annual General Meeting or Special Meeting will be posted on our web site and the time and date will be advertised in the newspapers two weeks prior. Board members meet once a month to deal with Society business at the The Portable at Rollo McClay sport field.

To be a voting member of the Society, you have to be a resident of Gabriola, registered on the island voting list, and be at least 19 years of age.
