Community Celebrates New Skatepark

On May 28 we celebrated the new Gabriola Skatepark in Huxley Community Park. Following the welcome and guest speakers, youth from the community took part in the official ribbon-cutting and skateboarders of all ages enjoyed a community skate session with music. The RDN thanks the Gabriola skateboarding community for helping organize the festivities.

Thank you to our guest speakers, the Honourable Adam Walker, MLA, Parksville-Qualicum, on behalf of Nathan Cullen, Minister of Municipal Affairs, Province of British Columbia; Tyler Brown, RDN Chair; Vanessa Craig, RDN Electoral Area B Director and David Reid, Keep on Pushin' Gabriola. Thank you as well to members of Keep on Pushin' Gabriola for their support and to all in the community who supported the new skatepark.
