| Welcome to Gambier Island!
Gambier Island is the largest of four
islands located in Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada
(not to be confused with the 14 small Gambier Islands,
located 1600 km southeast of Tahiti). The BC island
is approximately twenty-five square miles with only
125 permanent residents, primarily located in New Brighton,
Gambier Harbour and West Bay - the number swells to
over 600 in the summer. BC Ferries provides passenger
service between Langdale and New Brighton and there
are gravel roads connecting the three communities. We
have electricity and telephone and some of us even have
high-speed internet access. There is no car-ferry access
- something most residents want to preserve. Our island
has one commercial establishment: The General Store.
