Get Over Galiano Island with a Flying Camera
What's Up Vancouver Island flies 'Buzz' the flying camera, over two Galiano Island waterfront parks. Galiano is only a short car ferry ride away from Vancouver Island, and at 30 km long, is chock full of jaw dropping oceanfront scenery and parks.
Soar over the cliffs where the eagles fly and glide close to the ocean's surface, along the heavy rainforest and a crushed shell beach. 2 minutes of Super Natural serenity.

Galiano Island | Mary Ohara ~ Early life at the Northend of Galiano Island 1930/40's | 14Nov12
Galiano Island welcomed Mary Ohara back to our shores this last week. For background on this story I quote a message from Bonnie Macgillivray, Galiano's School Trustee that she sent in preparation for Mary Ohara's visit to Galiano - she wrote .....
Mary Ohara, Sometimes a gift is passed to you. In the middle of the summer I received an email from shaw. Being naturally skeptical and fearing the almighty virus I almost deleted it. Something, somewhere made me open it. The email was from Reed Oh, a name I did not recognize but I read on. Reed was contacting me as the School Trustee for Galiano and Reed had a mission. Reed was interested in fulfilling a deep regret of his Nana's.
Her dream of receiving her High School diploma had been interrupted by the Second World War, the internment of our Japanese communities all around British Columbia and subsequent exile to Japan. This was a dream Reed hoped that I could help fulfill. This has been the gift to me, the Galiano community and School District #64, Gulf Islands. Since that initial email Reed and I have been communicating back and forth. Reed has been sending me pictures and information about Nana. Kazuyo (Mary) Ohara was born on Galiano in 1929 in the Japanese fishing community located @ the North End of Galiano Island.
She attended school at the North End until her family moved to Salt Spring where she and her siblings attended Salt Spring Elementary School. Mary loved school and fully participated in all the social and academic aspects of school life. Then on December 07th, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and although Mary had never been in Japan and was a Canadian Citizen this international incident changed her whole life. Mary and her family were removed from Salt Spring Island, all their property confiscated, interned at Lemon Creek and after the war, sent to Japan. Mary Ohara never completed her education.
On November 14th Reed brought Mary to Galiano Community School where she gave a presentation about the Galiano Japanese fishing community and she told her story. This video is an excerpt from that presentation.
In Part 2 - Unbeknownst to Mary, our school community and the Galiano community was to celebrate Mary and the Gulf Island Board of Education presented her with an Honorary High School Diploma. Her whole family then walked into the Gym to be part of this special celebration.

Margaret Atwood Bodega video 1993.MPG
PSA made in 1993 by Margaret Atwood and Graeme Gibson for the benefit of Galiano Island`s Bodega Ridge preservation campaign. The PSA was rejected (bad audio), but it is still of historical interest. Don`t respond to the appeal - the campaign is long over and Bodega Ridge is now a provincial park.
