Nicely done. The ferry isn't actually free for most of us (only inland ferries are free in BC, unfortunately) as we pay for both directions at the Horseshoe Bay terminal. Comparatively few people cross from Comox and head south from Powell River as you apparently did, so they don't worry about them. Also, the Gibsons wharf is regularly inspected and piles replaced if needed as per government regulations, so it's perfectly safe.
I love this place! My family used to visit my great aunt and uncle who lived a couple of miles outside of town right along the ocean. We'd watch the whales play right from their dining room window
the town of gibsons is a beautiful post card town with all the same issues as any other resource town. I Wouldn't want to live there, but a coffee is nice every now and then if the sewage line or the mill isn't making it too smelly down at the pier. Although they were early adopters of the bear aware program that was only incited by the town hiring the conservation dept to kill 12 black bears which really pissed a lot of people off, they had the best water in the world, actually, until they let it get polluted with septic back feeds. They had plans for a mega terminal corporate water front thing but after years of bad blood and a covid thing it has been abandoned. the best thing about gibsons you missed, Gibsons market is acutlly pretty good with an aquarium and euro feeling coffee spot. vendors downstairs art and coffee upstairs in a very new building. I agree with your assessment of the pier in gibsons. only by its sheer mass does it continue to stand. Dont be fooled by the road side, It was recently resurfaced after many pieces started falling in. you saw the condition of the underside attachments. And the smell coming from there is often repugnant. as i said, it has issues but which town doesnt. at least this one is pretty.
id say that of all the land the colonists took, Gibson's was one of the jewels. George Gibsons himself was an irish sea captain and helped himself to the area starting the first post office (which is what generally getss your name remembered i found out) and the general store.
Not much going on to support life. Almost all shops close before 5. My neighborhood has no sidewalks or streetlight, the bus services are very irregular and unreliable. The worst part ,is that I do not drive. For people who are not into car culture, this is not the place to be! @@karenlewkowitz5858
It is beautiful there, and the people friendly. But it’s too isolated, too biting, my house is at a hilly place, nothing to do, especially after work, or weekend. I do not drive, and not a nature person. I like going out in evenings for a walk, nit having side walks or street lights just doesn’t work. A road-trip or a tour should be fine though. Some may find it enjoyable….
Why do you have to say “the most beautiful town” - you have no clue … Gibsons is a nice town … your so annoying - most beautiful … like you have a clue.

I guess then we were a bit lucky to use the free one. Ferries are expensive in BC, and thanks for the info 😊

It's free to leave
Nice Video
Beautiful place, million $homes, no rentals, no parking, constant water restrictions, don't flush your toilet!
When will you come to India 💞
P r o m o S M 💞
I do not like the place, can’t wait to move away!
So many people moving there, and away - esp to the East coast. What makes Gibsons a place to leave? I am making a road trip before deciding

@eileen Chang Why do you want to move away?
