Editor:
We are looking for creative, passionate volunteers with energy, ideas and networking skills to fill three positions on the board of our non-profit society, For the Love of Gospel Rock. The society’s mandate is to purchase the 46.6 acres of Block 7 of Gospel Rock in order to protect it as a natural green space for the community and future generations – the Stanley Park of Gibsons.
Block 7, located on the waterfront and high plateau just west of Gibsons Harbour, has recently been sold again. Although the owner has plans to develop, we think he will likely resell when he realizes the difficulties of developing it, coupled with the steadfast opposition of the community – as have all previous owners since 1937.
The board is in the process of partnering with organizations dedicated to preserving nature, as well as continuing its own fundraising plans. The project has great support in the community. We believe we can raise the necessary funds to protect Gospel Rock.
For the Love of Gospel Rock is looking for a treasurer, a secretary and a director-at-large for the upcoming year. If you have energy, time and passion for this worthwhile cause, please contact me at 604-886-9569 or email [email protected].
Loretta Macklam, on behalf of For the Love of Gospel Rock
