About us


Established in 1975, the Galiano Island Housing Society (GIHS) was created to provide housing on a non-profit basis at a reasonable cost for senior citizens in need of accommodation on Galiano Island. Currently GIHS only runs one housing complex named Page Drive. 

Page Drive 

Page Drive is comprised of 16 units and a lounge. The units are in blocks of 4 with the corner units being slightly bigger then the centre units. 

GIHS Board

GIHS is run by a board of volunteers. Currently, we have 10 volunteers working on the board. 

To contact the board you can reach us by email or mail at the contact information at the bottom of this page, or contact any of us in person. Board members also attend the regular tenants meetings and you are welcome to speak with us then or at any time.
