This is where we live in the summer, on Gambier Island in West Howe Sound.

Gambier Island is a very unique place, only 15 miles from Vancouver, but totally secluded. It takes two separate ferry trips from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. The winter population is around 125, the summers are considerably busier. The island is only about 25 square miles, and very little is developed. Lots of wildlife, but no bears or cougars, so the deer population thrives ...at the expense of many a residents garden!

Gambier is also hosts an annual outdoor Blues & Rock concert every summer. "Commotion by the Ocean" is a major event on the island, and is truly a family affair!
