Galiano Island, British Columbia, July 14, 2025 — Residents on Galiano Island will benefit from new transit services following an investment of $429,453 from the federal government.

With the purchase of two electric minibuses, this funding will create the first-ever transit system for the Island. This project is supporting the community’s goals to provide transportation options for all Islanders, especially youth, seniors, and those with disabilities, to access local services safely and independently.

This project will help residents conduct their day-to-day activities, such as going to work, school, appointments, or visiting friends and family.
