The Galiano Club

The Club operates through a Board consisting of 12 Directors each elected for a term of two years. These Directors are elected at an Annual General Meeting OR appointed (when a vacancy occurs between Annual General Meetings). To be considered for election or appointment to the Board, a person must have been a Club member for a full year previous. The Society is governed by a Constitution and By-Laws that are regularly reviewed and updated as necessary at the AGMs.

The Board manages the Community Hall and oversees Mt Galiano, The Bluffs and the Community Forest lands in trust for the community. The Galiano Club runs the Community Food Program. The Board also supervises a full schedule of annual public events, all held in the Galiano Community Hall, the Blackberry Tea & Harvest Festival and the Christmas Craft Market being the three most prominent ones.
The Directors listed below, with their respective Board Positions & Committee membership, are current for 2011-2012.

The Galiano Club employs 3 very part-time contracted staff for the Galiano Community Food Program (2) and for cleaning (1) in the Community Hall. Most work done for the Club – minor repairs to the Hall, work parties in the parks and playground, is done by volunteers. The Galiano Club has more than 300 members.
